Excited to be joining in right now on an X chat talking about #ButtonBatterySafety. Follow along with us for the next hour to learn about this important topic if you have young kiddos in your life. I help run the T4CIP (Trainees for Child Injury Prevention) program that has organized this Day of Action today.

A5: If you see or think your kid swallowed a #ButtonBattery, act quickly. Go to the emergency dept right away or call 9-1-1. Tell the medical team you think your kid swallowed a button battery. Learn about the honey protocol to reduce the injury severity. #ButtonBatterySafety

Don't forget about your pets when thinking about #ButtonBatterySafety. They can be just as dangerous for our furry loved ones so make sure to keep button batteries stored safely away if you have pets in your home. aspca.org/news/dangers-b…

Button batteries are found in homes everywhere, but they can be deadly if swallowed. These tiny power sources can burn through tissue in just 2 hours. Keep button and coin batteries up and away from children. #ButtonBatterySafety

A8. Even used or "dead" button batteries still have a charge strong enough to burn tissue if swallowed. Make sure to put a piece of tape on both sides of the battery after you are done using it and keep it locked safely away while you are waiting to recycle it.

Please join us all day long to help get the word out about #ButtonBatterySafety. The webinar at 1-2pm ET with national experts on the topic will be outstanding (see info below)! Registration is required, but the webinar is free.
