"Lithium-ion battery fires are deadly and destructive, as we have all learned from recent e-bike fires in New York and around the country," Alexander Hoehn-Saric, chair of the CPSC, tweeted. The meeting will not only focus on fires occurring in e-bikes and other micro-mobility products, but on the "fire risks that may arise with the growing consumer market for other products containing such batteries," according to the CPSC. During the public forum on July 27, the agency will "gather information and expertise regarding the science of these fires, particular safety issues related to e-bikes, and what it means for safety as more and more of these batteries are used in our homes and garages," Hoehn-Saric continued.
