The product, in the report: Brickbrite (see www.brickbrites.com), a light up lego-like toy
I wanted to warm you that my children (8 and 4) managed to break one of these Brickbrites (www.brickbrigtes.com) open (I think it was thrown and hit the floor). It opened at the seam between the upper plastic portion and the lower plastic portion. The unit has three small button batteries in it. It took us about ten nervous minutes to locate the button batteries that had come out. As you probably know, these button batteries can be extremely dangerous for smaller children. Please see the article in Pediatrics at this link for more details about the dangers of button batteries: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20498173

Pediatrics. 2010 Jun;125(6):1168-77. Epub 2010 May 24. Emerging battery-ingestion hazard: clinical implications. [REDACTED] Source National Capital Poison Center, 3201 New Mexico Ave, Suite 310, Washington, DC 20016, USA. toby@poison.org Abstract OBJECTIVES: Recent cases suggest that severe and fatal button battery ingestions are increasing and current treatment may be inadequate. The objective of this study was to identify battery ingestion outcome predictors and trends, define the urgency of intervention, and refine treatment guidelines. METHODS: Data were analyzed from 3 sources: (1) National Poison Data System (56535 cases, 1985-2009); (2) National Battery Ingestion Hotline (8648 cases, July 1990-September 2008); and (3) medical literature and National Battery Ingestion Hotline cases (13 deaths and 73 major outcomes) involving esophageal or airway button battery lodgment. RESULTS: All 3 data sets signal worsening outcomes, with a 6.7-fold increase in the percentage of button battery ingestions with major or fatal outcomes from 1985 to 2009 (National Poison Data System). Ingestions of 20- to 25-mm-diameter cells increased from 1% to 18% of ingested button batteries (1990-2008), paralleling the rise in lithium-cell ingestions (1.3% to 24%). Outcomes were significantly worse for large-diameter lithium cells (> or = 20 mm) and children who were younger than 4 years. The 20-mm lithium cell was implicated in most severe outcomes. Severe burns with sequelae occurred in just 2 to 2.5 hours. Most fatal (92%) or major outcome (56%) ingestions were not witnessed. At least 27% of major outcome and 54% of fatal cases were misdiagnosed, usually because of nonspecific presentations. Injuries extended after removal, with unanticipated and delayed esophageal perforations, tracheoesophageal fistulas, fistulization into major vessels, and massive hemorrhage. CONCLUSIONS: Revised treatment guidelines promote expedited removal from the esophagus, increase vigilance for delayed complications, and identify patients who require urgent radiographs.
