This is the only lithium button battery brand I recommend now - for serious safety reasons

Swallowed lithium button cell batteries can cause severe esophageal or airway damage or death; bitter coatings and a marker dye help prevent and detect ingestion.

The only lithium button battery brand I recommend now - for serious safety reasons

Lithium button cell (sometimes called coin cell) batteries are everywhere, from car key fobs to . And while they seem innocent enough, if ingested, they can cause severe injury from esophageal or airway damage in less than two hours, which can, in the worst cases, result in death. Each year in the US alone, some 3,500 button cells are swallowed, mostly by children. I've encountered one such injury myself, and seen a number of examples in first aid training materials, and it is no joke.
