The new "child-resistant" packaging is also "senior resistant." I was unable to get more than a few batteries torn out of the package, even using scissors. I returned them for a refund. Please be "senior considerate" and return to accessible packaging.
We just used nail clippers, cuticle scissors and regular scissors to try to open the Rayovac 312 hearing aid batteries. I can't believe no blood was shed! Please find a better way to package these batteries.
The batteries may be fine, but the child resistant packaging? Who designed this? I am a younger hearing aid user and have fine dexterity. This packaging is atrocious and I'm sure many older adults will not be able to open it on their own. I always bring a pack with me wherever I go- batteries can die when I am running errands or out to dinner with friends. The packaging demands that one have a scissors with them to cut the hard plastic- no easy task and I have hurt myself on multiple occasions. Who always has a scissors with them? I will purchase another brand.
I bought these child resistant packaged batteries. it took me 30 minutes to finally get the battery out. I have arthritis. They are not made for elderly or anyone with arthritis in mind.
HUGE EPIC FAIL ON CHILD RESISTANT PACKAGING! My husband ordered me my new hearing aids which are in the child resistant packaging! I am a 56 year old with good use of my hands. It took me and my sister 20 minutes to figure out how to get into the packaging at home. Then I was out doing errands and needed to replace a battery. Do you really think people carry scissors everywhere with them? I would not be able to change the battery at a movie theater, a park, restaurant basically anywhere except home. Instead I have to open the package up completely before leaving the house and put them in a separate bag so I can get at them when I need to. Huge epic fail!!!!
I have always used the RayOVac hearing aide batteries. But now this new packaging is so difficult to open even my scissors want cut threw. I perfer the old packaging it was so easy especially for us Seniors to use. If you making it hard why don't you include a pair of scissors that will cut threw the packaging, mine don't cut this is totally unfair you would put us in this amount of stress to use the batteries. It is parents job to keep away from kids not ours we need easy open containers please go back to the previous containers that moved . Why fix something that isn't broken.
Rayovac 312 12pack- 2 packs of 6-absolutely horrible to open, you literally need tin snips to open the package. Child resistant packaging- should read Senior Resistant. whoever approved it should really rethink their mistake
