The Problem • This is a “You don’t know what you don’t know issue” = a.k.a. - “hidden danger”. • Most parents and caregivers are unaware that button batteries pose a danger. 2
The Problem • Results from a March 2012 survey conducted by The Battery Controlled campaign indicate: • 62% of parents have not read, seen or heard anything about the risks of coin-sized button batteries. • 59% of parents said their children seem to like electronic devices more than their own toys. • About half of the surveyed parents said their children like to play with the various remotes in their house. • 43 percent of all parents surveyed were aware of having coin-sized button batteries in their homes. However, 95% of parents said they have at least one device in their home that could contain a coin-sized lithium button battery, including remote controls, electronic key fobs, flameless candles and singing books and cards. 3
