Excerpt: “The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using SafPow SPC-42020 and AMPOWSURE ASP-C10S42020 battery chargers because they pose a risk of serious injury and death. SafPow and AMPOWSURE have refused to conduct a recall. The defective chargers are sold for charging 36-volt lithium batteries in micromobility products. Although the chargers are marketed as ‘universal’ for broad categories of micromobility products, they are not “universal” and can be incompatible with some of the products for which they are advertised. Using these chargers with an incompatible battery can cause the connected battery to ignite. CPSC has received 47 reports of fire or other thermal incidents involving the chargers, including three reports of burn and smoke inhalation injuries and three reports of property damage totaling $100,200. Consumers should immediately dispose of these products.”
