What Happened

In the event of a suspected battery ingestion, call Triple Zero (000) if the child is bleeding or having difficulty breathing. Otherwise, contact the Poisons Information Centre immediately at 13 11 26 (available 24 hours a day).

Why This Matters

Button and coin batteries pose a significant hazard to children; if swallowed or inserted into the body, they can cause serious internal injuries or death in as little as two hours. In Australia, these batteries have been linked to multiple serious injuries and fatalities among children.
