Keeping our home a little safer with Duracell’s New Lithium Coin Batteries with bitter coating

This post is in Partnership with Duracell. All opinions are my own.

As parents we go to great lengths to keep our homes and children safe. We lock cupboards, install cameras above cribs, and put up baby gates, but many homes (mine included) unknowingly contain a hidden danger. Did you know that devices such as remotes, ear thermometers, and calculators can contain a battery so small that a child could easily swallow it in seconds? As the number of products that require Lithium Coin batteries rise, so does the potential hazard to young children.

With the holiday season approaching, we’ve got string lights, holiday ornaments, greeting cards (with sound), and small toys… which can be powered by Lithium Coin batteries.⁣ Unfortunately it’s a harsh reality that hundreds of children in North America accidentally ingest lithium coin batteries every year.

Duracell takes child safety very seriously, and as the #1 trusted battery brand, they provide more safety features on their lithium coin batteries than any other leading brand. I picked up their latest lithium coin batteries with bitter coating at London Drugs last week and I encourage you to do the same!⁣ Swap out any current lithium coin batteries for the NEW Duracell Lithium coin batteries with a non-toxic bitter coating. These lithium coin batteries also come in child-secure packaging which makes it nearly impossible to open without scissors!

How to help keep your home safe.

1. Know which devices use lithium coin batteries (see infographic below).

2. Child-proof your devices. Use a piece of tape to secure battery compartments and keep these devices out of reach.

3. Keep loose batteries locked away. We keep all our batteries in a safe place that only adults have access to.

Thanks to Duracell and their initiatives to help keep our families safer, I feel much more at ease this holiday season! Look for the logo above and the new products found at London Drugs. Remember you can never be too careful. For more information, please visit Duracell.com
