A new study is showing the severity of battery ingestion accidents, especially for children.
The study says if a lithium battery gets lodged in a throat it creates an electrolysis reaction and results in a serious chemical burn that eats through tissue.
About 3,500 cases of battery ingestion are reported to U.S. Poison control each year. More than a dozen children have died.
If you have any concerns, you can call the 24-hour National Battery Ingestion Hot-line at (202) 625-3333.
