    I was rocking my baby with my foot while she was strapped into her on the floor bouncer/rocker, I notice some yellow/orange liquid on my foot from where I was rocking her, I take her out and look under her bouncer and see that a liquid is leaking from her vibration attachment. I realized it was battery acid from the battery inside. This battery was fairly new and bought recently from a dollar store the brand being e circuit . The battery had exploded and was leaking battery acid everywhere it could have been a lot worse if gone unnoticed. However trying to wash the battery acid off my foot did burn which was the only injury that occurred.
