I've never eaten a cell, and none of my kids have.
We must all be super-duper-smrt.

Apple Says Don't Buy AirTag Replacement Batteries With Bitter Coating

So how do I read this? Protective coating to deter kids and apple is against the protective coating that is supposed to deter kids. So, apple is against deterring kids now? This sounds dumb.
Just look where the contacts in the air tags are and scratch off a bit of the coating on the battery at the corresponding position. Takes 1 min. Problem solved.
As relevant as “kids are very dumb”
As someone who stuck a hearing aid battery (and an M&M up my nose) as a kid, I can confirm. (I wear heading aids)
They were two separate incidents too. 😬
I believe this is more the result of litigation happy folks and less from nanny government.
It doesn't sound dumb if you had actually read the article, because you didn't.
So we want something very thin and small so that is not to easy to be found and removed by thieves. We also want replaceable batteries since we don’t want to keep buying new airtag … and last but not least, we also want batteries that are big and clunky so that kids will not accidentally swallow them …
It’s not the brand of batteries that’s the issue, it’s the size of the battery … so either make airtag battery non-removable, or use a D1 battery (hopefully it’s big enough to pass those regulations) …
There is a reason why Google dropped dessert names for Android.
But yeah Apple took the idea and improved it by making eatable hardware.
Meticulously crafted corn flakes - Ops i mean AirTags.
One more thing, you can eat it twice, triple, quadruple, that's fantastic, stunning, remarkable, tremendous, gorgeous.

Mom warns other parents after toddler dies from swallowing button battery
A Texas mother is warning other parents after her 17-month-old toddler died last month after swallowing a battery, which started to erode while inside her body.
It isn't as simple as it comes out the other end. Also, to the people on here saying parents need to watch their kid better, it isn't that simple. Even the best parents have kids do things that can be harmful.
Except you didn't because what you stated wasn't at all about the article in terms of why Apple made that statement.
Do you have children? And have they absolutely never ingested a single thing they shouldn’t?
The internet is insufferable.
If you make your kid swallow an AirTag, you’ll always know where it is.
sorry, but you're failing to understand the meaning of relevancy. going to end it here. have a good one.
What kind of parents will just leave a bunch of CR2032 batteries around for kids? These batteries are seal in the package. I doubt any kids are dumb enough to think it's candy.
