The product, in the report: 312 hearing aid button battery packaging
Sliced finger trying to open new Child Safe hearing aid battery packaging!! This new packaging is an absolute nightmare for a senior citizen to access!! Whomever came up with design must have overlooked the fact that many elderly have arthritic hands. The plastic discs covering the button batteries are almost impossible to cut and leave extremely sharp edges. This packaging is dangerous. It may protect children, but it is injuring seniors who are the biggest users of the product! I have actually been using butcher knives, hammers and screwdrivers to try to cut and break apart the plastic seals!! This is just ridiculous. Please, please change this design to be more user friendly for the elderly consumer.

The product, in the report: #312 hearing aid battery packaging
The newly required hearing aid battery packaging is a nightmare for all elderly people who need to use them. I have almost sliced my finger several times while attempting to open. This is NOT acceptable for the majority of people who use these products
