Cricket fans have been advised to throw away wristbands containing button batteries distributed by Alinta Energy and Cricket Australia at a recent India vs Australia cricket match and other matches after a child swallowed a potentially dangerous button battery in Queensland.
“After receiving feedback from attendees, the wristbands were swiftly withdrawn from a planned distribution on Saturday 26 January.
“On Tuesday 29 January we were also made aware of a safety incident involving a child. We understand the child swallowed a battery but has received medical attention. We have reached out to the family to offer our support,” a company spokesperson told SBS Hindi. 
Alinta Energy and Cricket Australia distributed approximately 3000 wristbands at the One Day International match between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on January 18th and at the Test match between Australia and Srilanka on January 24th at The Gabba in Brisbane.

The wristbands were distributed in bays N53-N57 and M53-75 at the MCG and sections 31-37 in lower bowl and sections 71-75 in the upper bowl at The Gabba.
The energy retailer on Tuesday issued a public notice urging fans to immediately throw away the wristband.
The promotional wristband includes button batteries which ‘contain small parts that could possibly cause severe risk or injury if ingested by young children,’ the public notice said.

“Immediate safe disposal of these wristbands is recommended, to ensure that no child could possibly access the wristband or its contents,” it read.
A spokesman said similar wristbands had also been distributed at the Big Bash League cricket games.
“We have published public notices widely today, and will be taking further action to communicate with attendees of those games (including via social media), and ensuring that the appropriate authorities are informed.

“The safety of cricket fans is our number one priority, and we recommend immediately disposing of these wristbands,” the spokesperson said.
Pain specialist and Anaesthetist Dr Jayne Berryman raised the safety issue with Alinta Energy and Cricket Australia through Twitter.
"Attended the first day of the Gabba test, these wrist bands handed out en masse to kids," she wrote.
"Shocked to find easy access button batteries. These can kill a child in only hours if ingested. Stop handing out this dangerous junk."
Alinta Energy responded saying, "Thanks for raising your concerns, Dr Berryman. Alinta Energy takes safety seriously and have ceased distribution of the wristband."
