I am pleased to be championing this vital campaign and backing Stacy's campaign, supported by the Stoke-on-Trent Live Sentinel, to prevent another child from injury or death as a result of swallowing a button battery.
I am pleased the Stoke-on-Trent Live Sentinel has published an article today about Harper-Lee's Law, and I will raise it in parliament. There may be something around labelling. It is important that people are aware that if they buy anything with these batteries, there is a danger of someone swallowing them.
I am fully backing the Harper-Lee's Law campaign. As a mother and grandmother, I feel particularly strongly that we need to do all we can to protect children, to educate the public, and to change the way we handle the sale and use of button batteries, reducing them or making them safe with a coating so this tragedy does not happen again.
