Fire Prevention Week 2025! 🔥🚒
This year's theme is "Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home." This week, we are spotlighting how to use, charge, and dispose of lithium-ion batteries safely.
The three key messages that support “Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home” include:
✅BUY only listed products - When buying a product that uses a lithium-ion battery, take time to research it. Look for a stamp from a nationally recognized testing lab on the packaging and product, which means that it meets established safety standards. Many products sold online and in stores may not meet safety standards and could increase the risk of fire.
✅CHARGE devices safely - Always use the cables that come with the product to charge it. Also, charge the device in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. If you need a new charger, buy one from the manufacturer or one that the manufacturer has approved. Charge your device on a hard surface. Don’t charge it under a pillow, on a bed, or on a couch. This could cause a fire. Don’t overcharge your device. Unplug it or remove the battery when it’s fully charged.
✅DISPOSE OF/RECYCLE batteries responsibly - Don’t throw lithium-ion batteries in the trash or regular recycling bins because they could catch fire. Recycling your device or battery at a safe battery recycling location is the best way to dispose of them. Visit www.call2recycle.org to find a recycling spot near you.

This is an example of how fast a fire can spread from an overheated lithium-ion battery being charged incorrectly. Only charge devices with their factory charging cords. And remember to check your smoke detectors. Quick alerts save lives!
