Toys with tiny batteries - AIBU and WWYD

[SilverBirchTree]

My PIL keep giving my six month old son toys and books with those tiny disc batteries in them. I think it’s kind of a ‘in’ joke in their house to give us noisy toys because when they hand the gift over they laugh about how annoying it will be for me to hear them.

I don’t mind the noise but my GP gave me material about how dangerous the batteries are and basically scared the daylights out of me. I also recently completed a 1st aid course where the former paramedic instructor kept saying those little batteries should be banned.

I don’t want the worry of it, and so I would rather simply not have battery operated toys and books in the house.

AIBU? Is this totally precious of me?

And WWYD in terms of PIL? Do I tell them ‘no batteries’ or keep accepting the toys and ‘misplacing’ the gifts?

They visit twice a week so they will eventually notice if their gifts are never about.

I agree take the out or throw the whole thing. We had a little colour changing toy giraffe thing and the battery was held in by two screws. However, they were placed in a way that didn’t actually keep the cover very secure and one came out with not much encouragement. Luckily we were right there to see it happen.

Please don’t put batteries in the regular waste.
The chemicals in them are some nasty shit and are dangerous if they end up in land fill.
Take them out and then you can drop them off at the battery recycling drops in most supermarkets.

Psammead?

I wouldnt give a baby a toy from the pound shop. Straight to bin as you cannot guarantee what parts might fall off it

If they are secured in with a screw then I think it's fine. Maybe keep it in the 'supervised' box. I.e don't let them play with it alone.
Can you take a picture of the monkey picture please? I'm intrigued since we know that the elephant was obviously referring to the trunk.

I really want to see this toy now!
