who was the rocket scientist that developed the "childproof" packaging ? almost sliced my fingers off trying to open. you need aviation snips to cut through the plastic, and then beg the batteries to fall out.
This type isn’t available anymore and we should be given a choice of packing. Two very strong adult sons cannot open the new style that replaced this dispenser. I’m furious.
My 73 yr old step dad hasnt had any problems with these batteries works better than duracell and energizer but now with the new packaging we are going to have to switch he has health issues and opening the new packaging is too much for him and me to do. we hope you switch back to old packaging.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I understand the need for child proof packaging; however most hearing aid batteries are used by seniors. You need to use scissors to cut open the package. So, if you are out and you have to change batteries, you have to find scissors or a knife to get batteries.
I curse you every week when I have to replace my batteries. The plastic is so tough. When I manage to cut through to the center of the pack, it's like the plastic welds itself and I can't get the battery out. I'm so afraid of snipping of the tip of my finger. I'm surprised there have not been sued for for this dumb advancement. would I recommend to a friend? It's the packaging not the batteries.
I appeciate the great price, but not the packaging

I am & have been a regular purchaser of 312 hearing aid batteries for several years. The new child resistant packaging is unacceptable. Even with scissors it is almost impossible to open to get a battery out. My scissors can barely cut through all the heavy plastic. I would need commercial scissors to cur through it. I will be forced to return to buying Eveready batteries if you continue to use this terrible packaging. I'm a healthy 92 year old female who admittedly has lost some of the strength in my hands, but I am able to accomplish all other tasks required in my household. Please revert to the other more accessible packaging you used before. I can't imagine any child being able to get into them. Keep batteries of all kinds & sizes out of reach of children should be the rule. Tank you for reading my complaints.
