Abstract
Foreign body ingestion (FBI) among children is associated with morbidity and mortality. We used the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System to compare FBI trends from 2017-2019 to 2020 during the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The pandemic and associated stay-at-home orders were associated with uptrends in button battery and magnet ingestions but unchanged total FBI trends.
