Protect Yourself from Danger of Lithium-Ion Battery Fires in Pearland

Our Pearland product defect lawyers bring to your attention an often-overlooked hazard from modern technology. Damaged, overheated or incorrectly packaged lithium batteries present serious fire hazards in cargos, consumer electronics, and electrically powered cars.

  • Lithium itself reacts very badly with water and with nitrogen (a common element in the air). Some firefighters undergo special training in techniques for combating lithium battery fires. Fires from lithium-ion batteries burn fiercely at about 1,100 degrees. Fires from non-rechargeable lithium metal batteries burn even hotter, at about 4,000 degrees.
  • Take care with any electronics (including smart cars) that you may own which contain lithium batteries.
  • Pearland product defect lawyers remind you to move away from a crashed vehicle as soon as possible if you can. If the crashed vehicle is an electrically powered smart car, a damaged lithium battery could unexpectedly burst into flame compounding injuries or causing fatalities. Gasoline-powered vehicles could also erupt into flame after crashes.
  • Damaging or overheating lithium batteries may lead to sudden, devastating fires. Just because a battery doesn’t erupt in flames immediately following damage doesn’t mean it won’t do so later on. The chemical reactions that ignite the fires might take some time to develop following damage.
  • A lithium battery generally incorporates special venting holes designed to circumvent the dangers from overheating and release extra heat. But hidden defects in the design or manufacture of the batteries may cause these not to work properly.
  • If you have a defective lithium-powered product affected by a recall, our Pearland product defect lawyers suggest that you take it back to the manufacturer immediately.
  • If you have a damaged lithium battery, take it to a hazardous materials disposal company for proper disposal.
  • If a fire starts in your lithium battery, call 911. Let specially trained firefighters deal with the blaze. Lithium has a highly negative reaction to water. Trying to fight the blaze with water will only make things worse.
  • Our Pearland product defect lawyers caution you to take care and use safety precautions with all your lithium-powered products to avoid the danger of injury or death from sudden fires.
