Beware of button batteries before you buy. Button batteries look like coins (or candy) and power many toys and electronic devices. They are also very easy for children to swallow. Buy toys and devices with safety latches on battery compartments or other child-resistant features. 

The batteries can become lodged in throats and intestines and release harmful chemicals. Learn more about button battery safety here:
