A house fire that killed a mother and her three children was caused by a lithium-ion battery, the BBC reports. The finding has renewed concern over the safety of lithium-ion batteries in household devices, which fire services have increasingly warned can ignite if damaged, charged improperly or left unattended.
Why now: The fatal outcome and the growing household prevalence of lithium-ion batteries make the safety warnings striking and widely shared.
