This needs to happen because too many infants have been lost due to ingesting a button battery and it burning their insides until they die.

We think this petition is similar
Ban button batteries from being used in children’s toys.
If you'd like these batteries to be banned in all products, you could start a new petition that requests this, rather than focusing on children's toys.
