Hey!

In this household are two adults (and no children) with concerns about the protective packaging in new “child resistant packaging”configuration. Specifically 
    - we both have finger/hand  dexterity issues.
    - we also have hearing loss issues.
    - the manual force that it takes to cut open a plastic and cardboard is extremely intense, and frustratingly upsetting.
   - the area that the instructions say to cut is so small and almost impossible to cut.
    - Various cuts in the plastic and cardboard still present a challenge to pry the batteries out.
    - Trying to cut the container results in sharp plastic shards (SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS) that not only small children could eat, but also pets, and if one does not wear protective EYE glasses, some of those sharp, plastic pieces could blind someone (ME).
    - this “solution” from the child dying in 2022 does not resolve how the “adult“ disposes of the batteries AFTER wearing them.
   - the hearing aid solution still does not absolve the “adult/parent” from their responsibility to have a safe environment for their child and by keeping small objects (paper clips, thumbtacks, screws, coins, and the list goes on and on) out of the reach of the child.
     - and for those who need to have a back-up battery in one’s possession when  away from home and the first one has no more power, and having a pair of scissors in one’s pocket, is not common nor practical.
    - and for an individual to PRE-cut several at one time actually exacerbates the problem by having multiple choking objects nearby.

Therefore we are now caught between a rock and a hard place as a consumer!
  I also understand the predicament you were forced to be in under the Reese law.   Although that law seems to ignore people in our situation.  

SOLUTION:  take this back to the lawmakers and allow battery makers to provide BOTH packaging options. Not everyone who has hearing challenges have small children in the house.
   It appears to have been over regulated. It is the parents’ responsibility to take care of and train small children as appropriate. 

Oh and by the way, train them not to play in the street!

   I realize whoever gets this email can probably delete it instead of responding or forwarding these comments from disgruntled customers of Sam's Club to the other powers who make these decisions.
    Please see 7 attached photos.   Thank you.

FRUSTRATIG Child Resistant packaging - hearing aid

These batteries have decent life - definitely worth it for the price. The one thing I don't like about them is the packaging. It's cumbersome and inconvenient. I've dropped far too many batteries trying to peel the cardboard back from the plastic which is very frustrating. I am eager to finish this bunch of batteries so that I can purchase batteries that come in a wheel instead. If, at some point in the future, Sam's changes the packaging to something more convenient and useful than what they currently have, I will gladly purchase these again. Until that time, I'm going elsewhere.

Frustrating Packaging
