That could be a problem in terms of little kids eating then. Lithium batteries that are found in many toys sometimes get out, the kid swallows it, and suffers irreversible liver damage.
- jfim 4y agoI don't think that's a very realistic scenario. Kid toys are already designed to have little to no small parts so that no part of the toy can be swallowed. A company that would put micro batteries in toys aimed at kids that are at the age where they eat toy parts would be grossly negligent.
- Kamq 4y agoI think the scenario in question is involving the batteries ending up in general tech, not in things specifically targeted at kids.
- nemo44x 4y agoThere’s a lot of stuff sold on places like Amazon that are massive threats to kids and are not under the normal regulatory eye. I can point to you various clothing for example that is targeted to kids but has choking hazards on them. It’s quaint to think that everything is under review and in your child’s best interests but that’s just not the case.
- Tagbert 4y agoHow appealing can they be if they are much smaller than a single grain of rice?
- nemo44x 4y agoI’m not sure if you’ve had kids but they crawl around and are so close to the ground that any little thing is interesting. And they live putting things in their mouths. Throw a grain of rice in a kids play area and within the day they’ll have found it and put it in their mouths.
