Why it's dangerous
The battery compartment can easily be opened without use of any tools and the batteries inside are easily accessible. If a child puts them in the mouth, the battery can overheat and release electrolyte which can be ingested by the child and cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, the product has small parts that can easily detach. A small child may put them in the mouth and choke.
