are being exposed to significant safety risks due to the lack of product testing and compliance of products that contain Lithium-ion batteries. \u00a0These batteries are found in numerous household appliances, trade tools, personal transportation devices such as e-scooters and hover boards, renewable energy storage systems, e-vehicles and personal rechargeable devices e.g. mobile phones, tablets and laptops. \u00a0The chemistry of the lithium-ion battery is more volatile than traditional batteries and instances of spontaneous failure and combustion with such intensity and modality, which cannot be extinguished pose a risk of injury loss of life and loss or dame to property.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  text-link\" >\n\t\t<div
