Many parents don’t think too hard about toy safety until something makes us stop and look more closely. In this episode, Simon and Lachy are joined by Rod Balding from Standards Australia and Sarah Hunstead from CPR Kids to talk about button battery safety, children’s toy safety, and what parents and carers need to know. They unpack how product safety works, what to look for in children’s products, and what steps to take if something goes wrong - the kind of information most parents don’t think they need until they do. All regulatory and first aid information, including phone numbers, is specific to Australia. For listeners in other countries, please check local health advice. Most importantly, call 000 in Australia if your child is bleeding or having any difficulty breathing and you suspect they have swallowed or inserted a button battery. *EPISODE RESOURCES* ACCC Product Safety https://www.productsafety.gov.au/ Health Direct https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/ 1800 Medicare https://www.1800medicare.gov.au/ Australian Resuscitation Council https://resus.org.au/ Poisons Information Hotline 13 11 26 - call in Australia if button battery ingestion is suspected but child is not bleeding or having difficulty breathing. https://www.poisonsinfo.nsw.gov.au/ Standards Australia https://www.standards.org.au/ CPR Kids https://cprkids.com.au/ CPR Kids Free Button Battery Guide https://cprkids.com.au/2023/06/06/our-free-button-battery-guide-is-here/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23102633890&gbraid=0AAAAADFK_zzxGWVFQ4u_LFhoSAqsliDn4 ACCC Product Safety - Button Batteries: Tiny batteries.
