I call on Energizer to find a way to make this tech available to all manufacturers and for worldwide regulation to encourage adoption. These batteries are ubiquitous and child ingestion injuries far too common.

I had a book I remember reading but couldn't confirm the author or title. Even explaining in great depth some of the major plot points three times the LLM couldn't come up with it.
