Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? This is a pack of five Maxell CR2032 lithium batteries. The back of the blister pack has a cut that is too easy for a child to open.

What's happening? The cut does not meet a new European safety rule. A child could get the battery and swallow it, which can cause choking or serious harm.

Does this affect me? If you have this pack at home and small children live there or visit, the batteries are a danger.

What should I do? Stop using the pack. Take it back to the shop where you bought it and ask for a refund or exchange. If your child swallows a battery, go to a doctor or call emergency services right away.
