This package is HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. I'm a 79 year old that cannot get into the pagageing! Thankfully, my husband searched his tool box to find something that could make the cut you suggest. I will be contacting t Veteran admiration about this problem. I have no children.
Been using them for years and have to tell you it's the worst packaging idea I have seen. Child proof yes, arthritic hands, no. Your other packages were great. Will search for other supplier.
This is the worst packaging possible. I have "cut myself" twice from the packaging while trying to open them. I suggest that you get a sample group (older people) and have them try to get a battery when needed. Maybe you can change the packaging to something that is easy and safe.
New "child proof" is horrible. Knives won't cut, scissors certainly don't. I must use the tip of electrical pliers to cut the packaging, and small screw driver to then ply it apart I wouldn't recommend this to an enemy let alone a friend.
I’ve used ray o vac batteries now for the 10 years I’ve been wearing hearing aids and have found them to be as good as or better than all the other brands. My complaint is the new childproof packaging that has made them almost unusable unless I’m at home with tools available to get them out. Please redesign the packaging so I’m able to use them without carrying a hardware store along with me.
I had to purchase the new child proof package of #13 hearing aid batteries and found the design to be not user friendly and not easy to get into . I have arthritis in both hands, and carpal tunnel . I could not open with my regular scissors and had to resort to my strong kitchen shears. There should be a better way to package these necessary supplies without getting cut from the hard plastic encasing the batteries. Over all my rating on this style container is -10 . I have no small children in my home, have no small children who come , do not go,places with small children. All family and friends are adult and their children are in there teens and older . Make a choice available for persons who do not have children in the home .
This new package is very difficult to open , and no, it does NOT take less than a minute to open! I have to painstakingly take out of package to take some with me. Who carries a scissors around with them?? I bought them & now it’s too late to return ! Please change the packaging! Will NOT purchase again.
