>3 stupid kids die from swallowing these batteries >politician knee jerk reaction is to completely recall all these button batteries until the companies create new child safe packaging and warning labels >on the day i fucking need it, one store near me refuses to stock them for some reason >its been 2 months
>Businesses which supply button batteries or products powered by them must now comply with mandatory button battery safety and information standards taking effect from today or face serious penalties, the ACCC warns.
>“These world-first standards are a critical step in helping prevent potentially life-threatening injuries to children,” ACCC Deputy Chair Delia Rickard said.
>“Tragically, three children have died and one child a month is seriously injured from swallowing or ingesting button batteries.”
>Under the new standards products must have secure battery compartments to prevent children accessing the batteries. Button batteries must be supplied in child-resistant packaging. Products and batteries must have additional warnings and emergency advice on the batteries, packaging and instructions. Suppliers must also ensure products have been compliance tested.
>All levels of the supply chain are legally required to comply with the mandatory standards and the ACCC will be working with state and territory regulators to monitor compliance and take enforcement action when necessary.

>one child a month is seriously injured from swallowing or ingesting button batteries how many are injured swallowing just about anything? what proportion of that are button batteries? that is the more relevant statistic.
