Energizer child-safe CR2032 battery fixes AirTag swallowing hazard Apple ignored

Energizer fixed the child-swallowing hazard Apple spent three years ignoring.

The Short Version

Energizer launched CR2032 batteries with child-resistant packaging, bitter coating, and mouth-dye technology to reduce the risk of children swallowing AirTag coin batteries.

A coin-sized battery inside an AirTag can burn a child's throat in 15 minutes if swallowed. Apple knew about this since 2021 and never fixed the design. Energizer built a child-safe version of that battery instead. Apple got the credit for a useful product, and Energizer fixed the danger Apple left behind.
