I'm deeply grateful to the coalition of private industry and advocacy groups supporting my Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act. Unregulated lithium-ion batteries are deadly. The consensus is bipartisan-- it's time for the federal government to act.

Lithium-ion batteries can overheat, catch fire or explode if used incorrectly. Make sure you are charging devices on a hard surface like a desk, table, or counter. For more Lithium-ion battery safety tips: nfpa.social/Q2NV50Qu8gt

Deaths caused by fire are only part of the story as there are thousands of displacements when homes are destroyed, contributing to the homelessness numbers across the nation. #FireSafe 🔥 #WinterReady ❄️ #FireServiceOneVoice #DHSExtremeColdSummit2024 @usfire @DHSgov @IAFC
