National Childhood Injury Prevention Week: Energizer Battery Challenge & Giveaway

September 6, 2013 by Beeb 30 Comments

Energizer Giveaway

Product samples & gift card were received for review.

September 1st through the 7th is National Childhood Injury Prevention Week. Parents have a huge job looking after their little ones and keeping them safe – there are so many things to think about and child-proof, many of which wouldn’t be obvious immediately. For example, I just learned that if a child swallows a coin lithium battery, it can cause chemical burns. Did you know that? I didn’t, and according to a recent survey by Energizer, neither did 62% of the parents they talked to.

Coin Lithium Batteries

That’s why Energizer has developed special packaging for their coin lithium batteries, following the Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines for child-resistant packaging. They challenged us to compare Energizer Coin Lithium Battery packaging to the competition in order to see which one would be more difficult for a child to get into.

Opening The Batteries: Competitor Package

I enlisted Jai’s help for this project, and gave him the first package of batteries to try. These batteries are from a competing brand, and have standard packaging. He was able to tear the package open with his fingers and get to the battery pretty easily.

Opening The Energizer Batteries

Next, I gave him a package of Energizer Coin Lithium Batteries. He tried to tear this one open with his hands, and exerted a fair bit of force, but all it did was bend the package.

Energizer Coin Lithium Battery Packaging

To open them, he needed a pair of scissors to cut the back of the packaging and pop the battery out – I can see that it would make it that much more difficult for kids to rip open the packet. You’ll also notice that there is a sticker on the battery itself, warning parents of the danger these batteries would pose if swallowed.

Safety Items

I was also provided with a gift card to use for picking up safety items. With fall & winter right around the corner, these are my picks for some practical items to check and/or replace:

  • Smoke Detector: Now is a good time to check your smoke detectors and make sure they are in working order and have working batteries.
  • Battery Charger: When winter storms hit, we use a lot of rechargeable batteries to power flashlights, lanterns, and radios.
  • Flashlights: And speaking of flashlights, how many do you have in your house?

Energizer Weatheready 2-in-1 LED Light

Seaside is notorious for its power outages, and no matter how many flashlights we buy, we never seem to have enough. I like to keep them dotted all through the house, so that it’s easier to find our way when the power goes out. I’m loving this Energizer Weatheready 2-in-1 LED Light that I got, because it doubles as a lantern with one click – it puts out a decent amount of light, which will be helpful when I’m fumbling my way through the next power outage this winter. šŸ˜‰

Sleeping Beauty

Speaking of fumbling through the dark, I’ve been thinking recently that it would be good to put out a nightlight so that it will be easier for my guests (And me!) to find their way if they have to get up during the night to use the restroom. I picked this Sleeping Beauty nightlight because it matches my Cinderella alarm clock! šŸ˜‰

Thanks to my package from Energizer, I’m feeling prepared for autumn weather with a new safety toolkit before summer is even over – yeah! As you get ready to load those holiday gadgets with batteries, just remember the “4 S’s”: Store coin lithium batteries & devices away from the reach of children, Secure the battery compartment, Select battery packaging that is child-resistant, and Share this info with other parents.
