This is truly a horrible story but the father's call to keep these batteries out of our homes is another knee jerk reaction that is overboard.
There will always be things in your house that could potentially harm or kill you. You can't ban everything that "might" be a danger on the off chance that something might happen.
We need to teach our children about the dangers around them so they grow up being able to make informed decisions. If you simply remove everything from their presence during their childhood, they will never learn how to think for themselves, be aware of their actions and become adults that keep safety in mind.
Eventually, they will come into contact with dangers and if you haven't already taught them how to respond to them, bad things can happen.
I can certainly understand his feelings, but people need to think logically before they just start calling for bans on things.
