    Making homes safe for children is a priority, yet some dangers are well-hidden in everyday spaces, like small batteries found in household items, but how much harm can something as tiny as a battery really cause? According to a case report in Malaysia, severe injuries can occur due to delayed diagnosis, as most emergency department patients who have ingested a battery show no symptoms or only vague and non-specific signs.[1] 

    Understanding this risk, Energizer Malaysia upholds its commitment to coin lithium safety with the launch of the "Know the Risks, Protect Your Kids," campaign and unveils its latest coin-cell lithium batteries with a 3-in-1 Child Shield™ safety system for added protection in Malaysian homes.

    "Energizer is the first brand in the world to introduce child-resistant packaging for its coin-cell lithium batteries, featuring a triple-layer child safety system designed to offer extra protection against everyday risks. Our innovation includes the world's first colour alert technology, designed to help caregivers identify potential ingestion and seek urgent medical attention. As an industry leader, at Energizer, we want to advocate for stronger safety standards in battery designs. By continuously improving safety features for its products, we will continue to lead discussions on preventing household accidents and protecting children," said Diane Lee, Business Director, Malaysia & Singapore, Energizer Holdings Inc.

    During the launch, Dr Wong Yee Ming, a Consultant Pediatrician from Columbia Asia Hospital Bukit Jalil, and real-life toddler parents Diyana Hashim, Pauline Tan, and Chelsea Ng participated in a panel discussion to discuss the real-life challenges faced in avoiding wrong ingestion, what to do during medical emergencies with ingestion, and share practical solutions to create a safer space for children at home.

    Dr. Wong Yee Ming, Consultant Pediatrician from Columbia Asia Hospital Bukit Jalil shared, "Many household hazards are hidden in plain sight, making it crucial to raise awareness of potential risks for children. Small objects, such as coin lithium batteries, can cause serious harm if swallowed. Severe injuries can occur due to delayed diagnosis, which is why immediate medical attention is crucial. Preventing such incidents should be a priority, and simple measures, such as storing hazardous items out of reach and choosing child-safe products, can make a significant difference."

    The 3-in-1 Child Shield™ safety system from Energizer is available across its 2032, 2025, and 2016 Ultimate Lithium Coin Battery range and has been designed as an option for those seeking to safeguard their homes.

    The new 3-in-1 Child Shield™ safety system was designed to help prevent the risk coin lithium batteries pose to children by combining these three key safety features:

    1. Child-Resistant Packaging: Energizer was the first brand to launch child resistant packaging, which provides security to help prevent children from accessing the batteries in the package.

    2. Non-Toxic Bitter Coating: A bitter taste for better safety, Energizer's coin lithium batteries include a non-toxic bitter coating on the cell that discourages ingestion.

    3. NEW Colour Alert Technology: A world-first innovation that introduces safety you can see. The new colour alert technology activates once the battery interacts with saliva, visibly dying the mouth blue in just seconds to alert caregivers so they can seek medical attention faster, as needed.

    As part of its ongoing efforts to promote child safety, Energizer Malaysia will also showcase its latest innovations at Malaysia's largest baby expo, the TCE Baby Expo, at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre (MVEC) in Kuala Lumpur from 17th to 20th April 2025 and the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) from 26th to 28th September 2025. Special promotions will take place during this event.

    Energizer's latest release embraces the power of technology to prioritise children's safety. The 3-in-1 Child Shield™ technology will be rolled out across the Energizer® Ultimate Lithium Coin Battery range and will be available in leading supermarkets and online.

CANNES, France, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 14 (local time), the Chinese film My World Without Me, directed by Tian Hairong, was screened at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. Selected for the International Promotional Screening Unit of the 79th Festival de Cannes, the film garnered warm applause and high praise from audiences around the world, as well as invaluable feedback and insights.

Following the screening, the film's creative team joined a themed panel at the China Pavilion titled "The Power of Images and Care for the Soul," engaging in a heartfelt dialogue with filmmakers and audiences from across the globe on the themes of life and adversity — resonating deeply with the tender hearts of people from all cultural backgrounds. The panel was hosted by China Film Foundation & China Film Association and organized by China Film Foundation • Wutianming Film Fund.

About the Film and Its Creative Team

My World Without Me is directed and headlined by Tian Hairong, with Zhang Hanyu serving as executive producer for the first time. The film was crafted over nearly seven years with exceptional care and dedication. It focuses on the contemporary community of people with hidden depression, conveying love and hope through the quiet spaces of daily life and the gentle light found in ordinary moments. Confronting suffering head-on, the film exemplifies the restrained aesthetics and humanistic warmth characteristic of Chinese realist cinema, offering an Eastern perspective on mental health narratives.

Tian Hairong is a graduate of the Performance Department of the Shanghai Theatre Academy and a renowned actress and producer in mainland China. She received the Golden Deer Award for Best Actress at the Changchun International Film Festival for Romantic Girl, the Best Actress award at the Nordic International Film Festival for The Spirit of a Generation: Tang Qunying, and the Best Supporting Actress award at the 12th Macao International Film Festival. Tian expressed her hope that through international platforms such as Cannes, the world will come to feel the warmth and depth of Chinese cinema.

International Recognition

French director Frédéric Oberlin praised the film for using a uniquely Eastern mastery of emotion to deliver silent feelings directly to the heart. Sinologist Luisa Prudentino noted after viewing the film that its sincere emotional core transcends cultural barriers, protecting the dignity of life and becoming a warm thread of empathy connecting different civilizations.

The film is set to continue participating in further international film festivals, using the power of cinema to build bridges of cultural communication and to help Chinese stories reach the world in a manner rich with humanistic care.
