Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

    The product, in the report: Button cell battery

    Caller stated that the button cell battery exploded while it was sitting on the shelf. He stated that he had heard a popping noise but later on he found the negative side of the battery on the floor. He stated that the alarm had went off but he is not sure that was the reason.
