Harper-Lee should have started school this year. But the last time her mum saw her she was being wheeled into theatre. Surgeons were unable to save her. Unknown to her mum, Harper-Lee had swallowed a button battery from a remote control. Within hours it burnt through her food pipe to her main artery and she haemorrhaged to death. She was two years-old. This #GivingTuesday please donate to Harper-Lee’s legacy and help us continue to drive forward improvements in button battery safety and raise awareness of the dangers so that no more families experience the anguish of a swallowed button battery.

Many parents and carers assume that if they can buy a toy for their child then it must be safe. But sadly, there is an increasing number of unsafe toys being sold online which can be deadly. And, with many families feeling the pinch this Christmas, the appeal of cheap toys could have fatal consequences. That’s why we’ve created a brand-new toy safety fact sheet for you to download and share: https://lnkd.in/ek_HXQcF #ChristmasProductSafety
