Requires an EOD team to open it. Took me twenty minutes to open it. Simple scissors did not work well. Tell the kids no or store them properly. It's the parents not the kids who are at fault. Put it back to SIMPLE. Recommendation does not apply to this situation as it is not about the batteries. .
The batteries work well. This new child resistant packaging is also adult resistant. These batteries are mostly for older adults and should be easy for us to use.
The idiots who designed the new "child proof" package should have to try, even with scissors, to get a battery ... while being shocked with a cattle prod every 30 seconds. Outrageous! And I'm a strong, capable man.
I’ve used these batteries for years but the new packaging is so inaccessible that I’m changing brands. Who can carry kitchen shears in a purse or pocket?! That’s the only tool that opens this new packaging. Too bad…you’ve ruined what was a great product. Someone forgot the old adage, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!”. You can mark it as child protective and sell fewer batteries per pack but in doing so you’ve lost customers. Even the tabs are shorter. What seniors did you test? Someone with arthritis could never open these. Shame!Shame!
The Veteran's Administration provided a 6-month supply of these last week. I took the first pack wit me when I flew to Michigan from California. I couldn't carry scissors with me on the plane, even if I had thought I needed them. When my batteries died, it was IMPOSSIBLE to open the package and replace batteries in my hearing aids.
The packaging is NOT senior friendly and was IMPOSSIBLE for my elderly parents to open and extremely difficult for me to cut the packaging. I understand the need for child safety, however there has to be a better way. We will NOT be using these again due to awful packaging. I do not believe you tested properly with elderly and your quality control failed. Do not purchase this product!
"...the packs are senior-considerate...", more like senior proof. I want to see the video of 80-90yo opening package. And who carries scissor around daily? Better send this back to package development for re-do.
