Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! According to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), Tesla, Elon Musk's electric car company, was fined A $155,000 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 715000 yuan) for failing to comply with mandatory safety standards for products using button batteries, which is equivalent to the price of two Tesla Model 3 cars, according to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

Tesla is said to have failed to conduct the necessary safety tests on the batteries used in his three key fob keys and two luminous threshold atmosphere lights. In addition, Tesla is accused of failing to provide mandatory safety warnings on these products that have been required since June last year.

The Australian button battery standard states that the battery must be safely fixed in the powered product and, if replaceable, in a safe battery case to prevent young children from opening it.

Children may be attracted to button batteries and swallow or stuff them into their nostrils, which can cause chemical burns and damage vital organs, ACCC said. It is reported that there have been three deaths of children in Australia after stuffing or swallowing button batteries.

"button batteries can be fatal for young children, and Australia's mandatory standards aim to reduce the risk of injury by conducting safety tests on products containing them before sale and giving clear warnings on product packaging." "if these products are not tested before sale, there is an unacceptable risk for children," said Catriona Catriona Lowe, vice president of ACCC. "We want all companies, large and small, to comply with mandatory button battery standards to ensure that children are protected from button batteries." Some of Tesla's physical keys are in the shape of cars, which may increase children's attractiveness to them, ACCC said.
