Abstract
Compositions and methods for deterring and/or visually identifying oral contact with objects that are hazardous upon oral contact or ingestion are disclosed. The compositions generally comprise a colorant and a carrier and may further comprise an aversive agent, a salivating agent, and/or an emetic. The compositions may be particularly useful for application to batteries, including button cells.
Claims16
A battery comprising:
- a battery having an external surface or a component, the external surface or the component having at least a portion that is exposed to moisture upon immersion of the battery;
- and
- a composition comprising:
- an aversive agent;
- a releasable colorant;
- and
- a salivating agent,
- wherein the composition is coated onto the external surface or is incorporated into the component wherein the specific electrical resistance and overall viscosity of the composition are higher than 1.0×103 Ω•m and 2.0×10−5 Pa•s, respectively, at 20° C.

A method of visually identifying oral contact with a battery, comprising:
- coating an external surface of a battery with a composition or incorporating the composition into a component of the battery, the external surface or the component having at least a portion that is exposed to moisture upon immersion of the battery, the composition comprising:
- an aversive agent;
- a releasable colorant;
- and
- a salivating agent;
- and
- releasing the colorant upon contacting of the composition with an oral area to stain the oral area wherein the specific electrical resistance and overall viscosity of the composition are higher than 1.0×103 Ω•m and 2.0×10−5 Pa•s, respectively, at 20° C.
4 more elements
A method of preventing ingestion of a battery that is hazardous upon ingestion, comprising:
- coating an external surface of a battery with a composition or incorporating the composition into a component of the battery, the external surface or the component having at least a portion that is exposed to moisture upon immersion of the battery, the composition comprising:
- an aversive agent;
- a releasable colorant;
- and
- a salivating agent;
- and
- releasing the aversive agent upon contacting of the composition with an oral area to impart an offensive flavor and/or odor to the oral area wherein the specific electrical resistance and overall viscosity of the composition are higher than 1.0×103 Ω•m and 2.0×10−5 Pa•s, respectively, at 20° C.
