The new child proof packaging is very difficult to get into. For my older hands, cutting plastic is difficult plus makes it impossible when I need to change batteries in public.
My most recent purchase showed up with child proof packaging. This is extremely difficult for seniors and you have neglected one thing. Any child can grab a pair of scissors and get these open. Child proof packaging is a failure in this case for everyone.
I have used Rayovac 312 for years and been very happy until the new packaging came out. I have arthritis in my hands. Cutting that package needs a skill saw! Then, my nail split trying to separate the two layers! I will find a different brand I guess unless you have the old packaging available for the elder generation!
If you don’t have scissors handy, you’re out of luck getting a battery out of that package. Whoever designed that packaged, should be locked in a room with it with no scissors!
Opened my first pack of 312's from the VA. The Child Resistant packaging is also Senior proof, took 10 minutes to get two out. I'm going to recommend to the VA not to source this manufacturer
I have used Rayovac batteries for my hearing aids for 20 years. They are dependable and reliable. But my latest order came with your new childproof packing. Total crap. There is no way to open the batteries without a major struggle. The plastic is tough and VERY difficult to cut thru. The spacing between batteries has melted points that are almost impossible to cut thru. Unless you have some tips or pointers or A NEW SYSTEM, I'll switch to a new brand. You ought to give the packaging engineer who designed this one a demotion. WORST PACKAGING SYSTEM EVER!
I just bought my last Rayovac hearing aid batteries. Even with my freshly sharpened Fiskars scissors I can barely cut the plastic sealing the batteries! For crying out loud, we're seniors - having our grandkids around is a rare occurrence compared to how often I have to replace batteries. No more Rayovac hearing aid batteries until the packaging changes, which probably means forever since I won't be buying any to see if the packaging changed.
