A father is warning people to ensure toys, and remote controls, are secure after his four-year-old son accidentally swallowed a button battery. 

Ryan Taylor's son Kaiden was rushed to Noble's Hospital by his grandmother last week.

He'd been playing with a remote control when the battery dislodged and Kaiden ingested it.
