North Lanarkshire Council is issuing safety advice to parents on button and coin batteries in gadgets and toys.
This follows the tragic death of 17-month-old Hugh McMahon who accidentally swallowed a button type battery on Christmas Eve.
The tot was rushed to hospital where medics fought to save his life, but sadly the ingestion had done too much to little Hugh's body and the toddler passed away in his parents' arms on Boxing Day.
