Once ingested, these batteries can cause devastating damage within hours:

Protect Your Child: File a Button Battery Lawsuit Today
A household object shouldn’t be a deadly hazard, but button batteries severely threaten thousands of families yearly. Small but dangerous, these tiny batteries are often found in toys, electronics, and everyday items. Curious children can easily remove and swallow them, leading to life-threatening injuries.
What Are Button Batteries?
Button batteries, also called coin or disk batteries, are small, flat batteries that power numerous devices, including:
- Battery-powered toys
- Remote controls and key fobs
- Flashlights and light-up decorations
- Hearing aids
- Digital scales and thermometers
- Talking books and greeting cards
While convenient for powering compact electronics, button batteries can become deadly when swallowed by a child.
How Common Are Button Battery Injuries?
Button battery ingestion is a significant safety concern:
- Each year, over 3,500 incidents of button battery ingestion are reported across the United States.
- According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), over 54,000 cases required emergency treatment from 2011 to 2021.
- Battery-related ER visits nearly doubled from 2,591 in 1990 to 5,525 in 2009.
- Children aged six and younger accounted for 66% of these cases, with over 1,000 children treated annually from 2003 to 2019.
- Tragically, 27 deaths occurred within a decade.
- New measures like Reese’s Law and updated Consumer Product Safety Commission standards are reshaping the handling of button battery cases.
What Happens When a Child Swallows a Button Battery?
While some batteries pass through the digestive system harmlessly, many cases result in severe injuries. Symptoms to watch for include:
- Difficulty breathing, swallowing, or chest pain
- Coughing, choking, or refusing to eat
- Unexplained wheezing or discomfort
Even if your child has no symptoms, don’t delay. Seek emergency care immediately if you suspect ingestion. Doctors can use X-rays to locate the battery and take swift action to remove it.
Don’t wait—let our team help you hold negligent manufacturers accountable. Contact us now for a free case review.
Steps You Can Take After Button Battery Ingestion
If your child swallows a button battery, follow these steps:
- Seek emergency medical attention immediately.
- If your child is over one year old, give them honey (as recommended by Poison Control) to slow chemical reactions.
- Inform medical professionals of the specific battery type, if known.
Prompt action can save your child’s life and reduce the risk of permanent injury.
