Serious question: what is the risk, aside from any other "foreign object"? Does the battery leak?

  According to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Button_cell#Accidental_ingestion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Button_cell#Accidental_ingesti... the battery's anode creates an electric current with the digestive tract's fluids that produces caustic soda which can burn through the oesophagus in as little as 2 hours.
