The pictured products are being recalled because the battery compartment isn’t secured, allowing easy access to the button batteries inside.

Button batteries can badly hurt or kill a small child. If they swallow one and it gets stuck in their food pipe, it can burn through the tissue and cause life-altering injuries or death.

That’s why it’s so important to check that button battery compartments on products are safely secured before giving to a child.
