Will this have damages their clothes or be dangerous to them? I must have collected a pile and not realised what I had picked up. Baby only 2 months so not crawling

My son swallowed two double a batteries when he was 4....took them out of the television remote!!!! Mad dash to the hospital for x rays.....he was perfectly fine!!! Just had to monitor his bowel movements for a few days till they passed naturally

He swallowed what? And it took days for him to pass them? OMG

Blimey 😧 to swallow one is some feat, but two?! They are fairly big, especially to a 4 year old - did he just gulp them down?! The thought makes me shudder. Swallowing paracetamol as a child was a challenge for me😂 Glad he was ok!

Give the clothes another wash if you are worried.

It looks like an RFID tag, do you know it has a battery?

Are the clothes lying in a smouldering heap, covered in holes and scorch marks?

If not, I’d say it’ll be fine.
