The mission of the Burn Prevention Network is to provide burn injury prevention education to and advocacy for those at greatest risk. Our primary service area is in Eastern Pennsylvania, although many of our programs and products are utilized worldwide.
Press Release
Please read the press release and view the link regarding the dangers of lithium ion batteries ('button batteries") and the dangers they pose to
children....not only as choking hazards but also as burn hazards. They can become lodged in the throat and cause burns to the esophagus. Safe Kids USA
and Energizer have partnered to create "The Battery Controlled" to educate parents and caregivers of this danger. The video is excellent.....it very succintly shows all of the household items that contain these types of batteries (that you wouldn't even think about), and how easy it is for young children to access the batteries themselves.
