Ingestion Campaign

The ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø (ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø) is working with theÌýÌý(OPPS) on a campaign to raise public awareness of the dangers surrounding ingestion.Ìý
The campaign aims to inform public of the danger of swallowing magnets, button batteries, small and loose toys and imitation food, and where these products and risks associated can be found, as well as advise on how to reduce the risk of these items being swallowed. It is significant for consumers to be aware of the possible symptoms of swallowing magnets and button batteries and the importance of seeking immediate medical treatment.
As part of the campaign, ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø has produced and utilised a number of digital resources which can be shared through social media channels. These resources are detailed below. We would appreciate as much participation as possible from consumer protection partners and key stakeholder organisations in sharing these messages. Your involvement in this campaign will ensure members of the public are educated on the dangers that come with ingestion of button batteries and magnets, and help save children’s lives.

The Office for Products Safety and Standards and ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø have produced several social media graphics and posters highlighting the key messages for the campaign, and will be shared via ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø social media channels, and are available to download on the page.
