Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 15022 — Mercury in Batteries is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
No person shall sell any alkaline manganese battery manufactured on or after January 1, 1996, if the battery contains any intentionally introduced mercury, as distinguished from mercury which may be incidentally present in other materials. However, the mercury content in alkaline manganese button cell batteries shall not exceed 25 milligrams of mercury per button cell.
