Following reports that Apple’s AirTag key tracker was removed from shelves by a major Australian retailer over concerns with its button battery last month, the country s consumer watchdog has urged parents to keep the product away from children.
The official warning comes after Apple had added more explicit button battery warnings to its packaging in Australia, though the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said it wasn’t enough to address its concerns with the product.
In a statement, the ACCC said it was concerned “about the accessibility and security of the button battery inside the product.” The consumer advocate says young children could access the battery compartment and remove the coin battery with ease.
