We opened an early Easter gift at a todder / coffee morning group. 😀
Call me silly but I was astonished at the lengths one manufacturer went to list everything they could about batteries.... 😮
- Alkaline batteries recommended.
- Do not use rechargable batteries.
- Non-rechargable batteries are not to be recharged.
- Rechargable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged.
- Rechargable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision.
- Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used.
- Batteries should be replaced by an adult.
- Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
- Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy.
- The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
- Batteries are to be removed from the product when not in use.
- Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
Now, having got over the shock of so many instructions about batteries [sorry for the pun], I wondered if they've missed out any instrucitons about batteries...
What do you think ❗ ❓
Don't lick batteries.
Can't see that on their and I'd say its fairly important, also don't thrown them at walls
Don't eat batteries
don't stick batteries into bodily orafaces
don't smoke batteries
OK, have I missed something? The second instruction says do NOT use rechargeable batteries. So why are the 4th & 5 th instructions related to using rechargeable batteries? ❓
