The Hazards of Button Batteries

 

We recently came across an excellent blog post written by Teresa Stewart, MS, MPH, of Isis Maternity, titled "Beware of Batteries: The Common Household Poison You May Not Know About." It  reminded us of an article we ran in our Baby Safety Month newsletter last fall on this very subject.

Read an updated version of our article in this blog post, and watch for a companion post on the hazards of children swallowing magnets coming up on our blog this Wednesday, April 25.
