Tips When Buying
Purchase Products From Reputable Manufacturers and Vendors. Products that are well-engineered, and are well-tested are also safer products. Avoid the “low price, low quality” option that could put you or your family in danger.
Look for a Nationally Recognized Certification Laboratory. Safety marks from nationally recognized certification laboratories, such as Underwriters Laboratory, mean a product has been certified to meet safety, quality or security standards. Look for safety marks on product packaging, the product itself or within product details when shopping online.
Check for Recalls Before Buying. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission regularly reports when a lithium-ion battery product has an identified fire safety hazard. Before buying, check to see if a product has been recalled by reviewing cpsc.gov
