Button batteries are small, shiny—and dangerous. Keep them locked away and act fast if ingestion is suspected: go to the ER immediately.

On June 12, 2026, FISPGHAN recognizes International Button Battery Awareness Day as part of its commitment to preventing severe pediatric injuries caused by button battery ingestion.

These small batteries are present in many common household items and may be swallowed without anyone noticing. When ingestion is suspected, rapid action is essential: families and caregivers should seek emergency care immediately.

Awareness saves lives. Prevention starts at home, in clinics, and across every community where children live, learn, and play.

Small. Shiny. Dangerous.

Button batteries are found in everyday objects: remote controls, toys, watches, key fobs, hearing aids, calculators, and musical cards. If swallowed, they can cause serious injury in just hours.

This June 12, 2026, FISPGHAN joins the global call to protect children from preventable injuries caused by button battery ingestion.

Look. Lock. Tape. Recycle.
And if you suspect a child has swallowed a button battery, seek emergency care immediately.
