Lithium-ion batteries power a huge range of everyday products, and manufacturing defects in a single batch of cells can lead to overheating and fires. This sample explainer outlines the trend.
What’s driving the trend
More devices than ever use high-capacity lithium cells, and a defect in one cell can cause a chain reaction. Regulators are issuing more battery-related recalls as a result.
How to stay safe
Charge devices on a hard surface, avoid cheap unbranded chargers, and stop using any product that gets unusually hot or swells.
What to do if your device is recalled
Most battery recalls offer a free replacement or refund. Register your device and check the manufacturer’s recall page for claim steps.
