Button Batteries (Safety) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill aims to make button batteries (the tiny round batteries in toys, watches, and hearing aids) safer, especially for young children. Button batteries can cause serious injuries if swallowed, so the bill introduces new safety measures like improved packaging, clearer warnings, and stricter sales rules to prevent accidents.

Presented by Jo Gideon.
