A common button battery is being urgently recalled over fears it could cause severe internal burn injuries or death to young children.
A recall notice from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission says the Panasonic CR2016 Lithium coin battery 3V was sold without a warning label required for the product.
It added there was a risk of choking, which could result in severe internal burns or death.
