FIRE PREVENTION WEEK - Charge into Fire Safety:  Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home.  Lithium-ion batteries store a lot of energy in a small place.  These batteries can overheat, start a fire, or explode if overcharged or damaged.  When buying a product that uses a lithium-ion battery, look for safety certification marks from a nationally recognized testing lab such as UL, ETL, or CSA.  This means that it meets important safety standards.  A lot of products sold online and in stores don’t have these stamps and can seriously increase your risk of fire.  Click here to learn more!
