Reese Elizabeth Hamsmith died at just 18 months old in December 2020 after swallowing a button battery in October 2020. To honor the little girl, Reese\u2019s Law was passed to protect young children against the danger of accidentally swallowing button cell or coin batteries.<\/p>\n
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) moved to put into place a mandatory standard to reduce the hazard of ingestion to children 6 years and younger. The CPSC has implemented federal safety requirements for button\/coin batteries and consumer products powered by these batteries. UL 4200A-2023, Standard for Safety for Products Incorporating Button Batteries or Coin Cell Batteries, has been mandated as the consumer safety rule.<\/p>\n
