🦸♀️⚡ Not all superheroes wear capes… some just unplug their phone when it's done charging. ⚡🦸♂️
Fire Prevention Week starts TOMORROW (Oct. 4–10), and this year's theme is "Charge into Fire Safety™: Safe Charging Is a Superpower."
Phones, laptops, e-bikes, scooters, power tools, vapes, kids' toys — lithium-ion batteries are in almost everything we own. When they're damaged or charged the wrong way, they can overheat and start fires FAST.
Here's how to use your superpower 💪
🔌 Use the charger and cord that came with your device
🛏️ Charge on a hard surface — never on a bed, couch, or under a pillow
⏱️ Unplug once it's fully charged
🏷️ Buy products listed by a recognized testing lab (look for the safety mark)
🔥 Stop using any battery that's swollen, hot, leaking, or smells strange
♻️ Recycle batteries the right way — never toss them in the trash
