Seems they are not as harmless as they look.I realise they contain heavy metals like cadmium and mercury, but unless they leaked I surmised like many others they would if swallowed just pass through the system naturally.HOW WRONG I WAS!!!

Seems the battery causes a chemical reaction which can produce caustic soda this causes burning internally.

So please store these away from children and be viglant if they smash there toys for the cells.
