While the rise of battery-powered mobility devices has had many positive effects, too many of these devices contain uncertified lithium-ion batteries that do not meet safety standards. Many people are storing these faulty batteries in their homes and in some cases, businesses are charging hundreds of batteries at once, leading to explosions, fires, and death.
Unsafe lithium-ion batteries are a clear and present danger to our city, causing numerous fires, fatalities, injuries, and substantial property damage. Collaboration with FDNY and Governor Hochul has resulted in a drop in related deaths, emphasizing successful prevention strategies.
