Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250405-246CB-2147332112. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Energizer AA-E91WP-4 (Energizer AA Batteries . They are labeled as Energizer Max with a use by date of 12-2035.). Incident: From: [REDACTED] Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2025 5:42 PM To: support@energizer.com; [REDACTED] Subject: Energizer AA Batteries leaking battery acid/whatever We purchased Energizer AA Batteries last Fall in preparation for the Xmas season use. They are labeled as Energizer Max with a use by date of 12-2035. When my wife was removing these batteries to discard them she found that at least three of these batteries were leaking battery contents resulting in white crud around both ends of the battery. These batteries were used to power some string LED lights. We havent seen this occur with any batteries that we have purchased for the past 10 or more years. This is unacceptable. We may never purchase your batteries again. We expected your batteries to be the best and they are not. Bad quality in our opinion. You can do better than this.
