Free printed resources by Child Accident Prevention Trust
This Christmas, homes will be filled with light-up decorations, festive tea lights, singing Santas and flashing Christmas wands. But these – and many cheap toys – are powered by button batteries that can badly hurt or kill a child if swallowed.
Worryingly, far too many parents simply don’t know – either about the dangers or the wide range of products now powered by button batteries. That’s why the Child Accident Prevention Trust has created FREE printed resources (with free postage) to get the message out.
