    Grieving mother helps make changes to button batteries that may save young lives

    Trista Hamsmith, a mother who lost her daughter Reese to a button battery ingestion, advocated for federal safety reforms known as Reese’s Law. The law mandates secure battery compartments and safety warnings, while Hamsmith also collaborated with Energizer to introduce child-safety features like bitter coatings and blue-dye alerts. Pediatric doctors, including Dr. Michelle Macy from Lurie Children’s Hospital, support these measures as critical in preventing fatal battery ingestion incidents.
