Poster: Lithium-ion Batteries - Don't Go up in Smoke!

Lithium-ion batteries are found in many rechargeable household devices, like personal electronics. If mishandled, they can overheat, catch fire and explode!

Reduce your fire risk:

• Don't modify or tamper with a battery. Don't use if showing signs of damage like swelling or overheating.
• Charge away from soft surfaces like bedding. Store at room temperature.
• If replacing a charger, check for a Canadian certification mark like CSA, cUL or cETL.
• Check with your municipality on how to safely dispose of your batteries.
