I've been using these provided by the VA for years but from now on I'll buy my own as I cannot get this new package open! I can't carry a pair of scissors with me all the time. I guess until I manage to use up the 180 batteries I just received I'll get help and open all of them and carry them in a baggie. That will totally defeat the "child proof" idea.
These are product that is used almost exclusively by old people with arthritic hands and you have chosen to package them in a way that is extremely difficult to access. What were you thinking?? I will never buy these again.
The child resistant packaging on the 6 pack is also senior resistant. My spouse and I found it awkward to open using scissors. Price for the 6 was more than I remembered-ouch!
ineffective as I don't carry scissors in my purse. So guess what I did. I opened EVERY ONE and just had the loose batteries in a baggie. They ended up in a pocket and I washed them! SOOOOOOO Batteries are ALL OVER my house....loose in my purse even because the baggie broke at one time. It is absolutely the STUPIDEST design imaginable! WHO was the IDIOT that though this would be safer??? I would bet my salary that that 99% claim is a BALDFACE LIE!
Good grief! Obviously the Ray-O-Vac safety team members do not wear hearing aids! How does a person remove battery for his/her hearing aid without carrying a pair of scissors? Get their teeth sharpened?
Batteries are great, the new child proof is terrible! The plastic is double thick, not easy to cut at all! After you cut it out, you have to try to pry the two cut halves apart. Watch out for the sharp corners. The old package was simple and quick, the problem with those batteries was the very short pull off tabs. I HATE THIS NEW PACKAGE!!
I wear hearing aids and have been buying the 16 pack 312 batteries, but now our store has a shipment of the new packaged 12 packs. The plastic is so tough, I had to have my retired mechanic husband open them. Please reconsider the material you are putting the batteries into. Don't get me wrong-I love the batteries, but cannot open the package!
