Rad Power Bikes’ batteries receive major fire risk warning

The batteries that power Rad Power Bikes’ e-bikes “pose a risk of serious injury and death” and owners should stop using them, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The warning, issued Monday by the CSPC, is due to a risk that the batteries can ignite or explode. The CPSC has linked the batteries to 31 reports of fire so far. Twelve of those incidents resulted in property damage, and some of them even occurred when the batteries were not charging, according to the commission.

I looked if in my country there were similar warnings for other brands. I didn't found them. I ended up searching what kind of fire extinguishers to use in case of fire caused by smaller, less powerful li-on battery (smartphone, laptop etc). Long overdue search on my part.
