energizer coin lithium
Did you know that coin lithium batteries can be found in most homes in everyday items like remote controls and keyless entry devices for your car yet many parents don’t know that if ingested, these coin-sized lithium batteries can cause serious chemical burns in as little as 2 hours?  In a survey conducted by Energizer, 62 percent of parents reported being unaware of the risk associated with coin lithium batteries.  I was contacted by Energizer to see if I would be interested in spreading the message on just how dangerous these batteries can be and how to keep children safe and of course I jumped at the chance.

In support of National Childhood Injury Prevention Week (September 1-7, 2013), the National Safety Council and Energizer have teamed up to share some important tips every parent should know to help prevent injuries from the ingestion of Coin Lithium batteries to help keep kids safe.

The 4 S’s of Coin Lithium Battery Safety

  • ·         STORE devices that use coin lithium batteries out of reach of children
  • ·         SECURE the battery compartments of devices
  • ·         SELECT battery packaging that meets federal guidelines for child resistance, such as Energizer’s coin lithium battery packaging
  • ·         SHARE this information with your friends and family

Energizer
 led the industry by being the first to voluntarily develop packaging for its 20 millimeter coin lithium batteries that meets the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) strict guidelines for child-resistant packaging.  They also developed a national awareness campaign in partnership with Safe Kids Worldwide called The Battery Controlled, which works to alert parents and caregivers to the dangers of swallowing coin lithium batteries. Identifying ways its products can help keep families safe is part of the Energizer commitment to designing its products with people in mind and investing in programs that have a positive impact on the world. that’s positivenergy

If it is suspected that a child has swallowed a coin lithium battery, it is important to go to the emergency department immediately. For more information on child safety and coin lithium battery safety, please visit nsc.orgwww.energizer.comTheBatteryControlled.com and www.poison.org/battery

The CPSC imposes strict guidelines to determine if a packaging qualifies as effectively child-resistant. The packaging is tested with groups of children ages 42-51 months and also with senior adults ages 50-70. For a package to be child-resistant, a total of 80% of the children tested must not open the package in a full 10 minutes of testing. To make sure that adults are able to use a child-resistant package properly, 90% of adults tested have up to five minutes, and then another minute in a second test, to open and close the package (if applicable) so that it is child-resistant again.

We were given packages of Energizer coin lithium batteries as well as a package from a competitor to see which one would be easier for my children to open.   The competitor’s packaging was much easier to get into than Energizer’s Coin Lithium battery packaging.  We needed scissors to open the Energizer packaging while my daughter was able to open the competitor’s packaging by simply ripping the cardboard around the batteries.

St. Louis, MO (October 2, 2012) –Energizer, a global leader in power and lighting, is bringing its latest innovation, Energizer®MAX® brand batteries with Power Seal Technology, to the United States.  On the heels of a successful launch in Asia in 2009,Energizer is the first in the world to introduce Power Seal Technology and now brings this technology to retail in the US.

“We are excited to launch Power Seal Technology in the US and strongly believe this innovation will give consumers confidence that they’ll always have power when they need it most,” said Michelle Atkinson, Vice President, North America Marketing for Energizer.

Fulfilling Retailer and Consumer Needs

Consumers today demand power solutions for their devices that are convenient, portable and reliable, and Energizer is delivering a full range of innovative products to satisfy them.  Energizer is committed to continuous innovation so consumers will have the power to select the right battery for the right device.  Whether its capturing baby’s first steps, competing in a gaming marathon or preparing for a storm on the horizon, consumers can be assured they’ll have long lasting power from Energizer that they can count on.

“We know consumers rely on Energizer batteries for their long-lasting qualities.  Our research also showed that another important benefit is the peace of mind they get when they know their battery will hold its power for up to 10 years*,” said Atkinson.

Retailers can also feel confident that they are bringing their customers a battery that they want and need, and that Energizercontinues to provide the right products and marketing support to drive retail success across the entire category.

“We understand both retailer and shopper needs and are dedicated to delivering the insights, expertise, and solutions to help grow business for our retail partners, while

delighting shoppers who are looking for batteries from a brand they’ve always known and relied on,” said Atkinson.

Building on a History of Innovation

From building the world’s first dry cell battery and the world’s first watch battery, to making the first commercially-available zero-mercury AA and AAA  alkaline battery and introducing the world’s first AA and AAA lithium batteries (1.5V), Energizer continues to be at the forefront of new products and technologies that are designed with both performance and responsibility in mind.

Several months ago Energizer® Ultimate Lithium AA batteries—already the longest lasting AAs in high-tech devices—got a power boost with a re-tooled formula including improved materials and construction. They now last up to 9X longer** (previously 8X) in digital cameras and Energizer® Ultimate Lithium AAA batteries also last up to 9X longer*** in digital cameras.

“Power Seal Technology takes reliable performance to a new level.  We’re proud to demonstrate that we will continue to be a technology leader and deliver the products that retailers and consumers expect from the Energizer brand,” said Atkinson.

Power Seal Technology labeled packages are appearing at retail now, and consumer awareness and education efforts will include on package messaging, advertising, public relations, promotions and retail support.
