Just because a kid will swallow a battery doesn’t mean he’ll swallow an origami robot.
The origami robot would not have helped in the case they cite. Dumbasses.
‘3,300 cases a year’ MY GOD, THAT WOULD BE 330,000 IN A CENTURY !!!
Most swallowed batteries cause no problem. But that wouldn’t make much of a headline.
The same battery? Could be messy.
Best thing would be for the parents to be charged.
The real problem is that batteries are just so tasty.
Should have bought Duracell. The Bunny runs a lot longer than 3 hours.
Depends if it really is a battery, such as a PP10, or whether they actually mean a cell, such as a CR2000.
Not a prob: tell him to eat some salt.
In circumstances alimentary
Always observe the battery’s polarity.
OK, OK, I was just about to go anyway…
