Here’s a video which details the dangerous risks that batteries pose and what to watch out for.
#1 Now that Christmas has come and gone, children all over America are still enjoying their brand new toys.
But doctors want to send out a warning to parents, grandparents, and neighbors: Be careful and aware of the potential dangers of batteries in the hands of young children.

The people from Dayton Children's Hospital show just how corrosive these batteries are. In just two hours, a small battery severely damaged a slice of baloney, which is about the same consistency and width of a child's esophagus. If a battery has gotten stuck in a child's windpipe, the dangers could be deadly.
The worst part of this problem is the fact that not many people are even aware of the danger. So many toys and remote controls are operated by these small button batteries, and children have not necessarily been told just how harmful these batteries can be.
So please spread this potentially life-saving information to everyone you know. If a child suddenly refuses to eat or seems to have trouble breathing, he or she could very well have swallowed one of these tiny batteries.
Thankfully, most children are kept safe from this danger, but heartbreakingly children still get hurt from these common household items every single year. It pays to be vigilant and spread the message!
