No one hurt Made Jul 28, 2011, published by CPSC Aug 19, 2011
The product, in the report: Cellboost eIP2 Disposable Battery/Charger for “iPod”, white plastic case, approximately 2” x 2”. Sealed inside case are 8 small batteries.
I purchased a Cellboost eIP2 disposable battery/charger for my iPod last year. I opened the package, but had not used the device, and it was sitting on a wooden bookshelf in my study. It was never exposed to heat or direct sunlight. On or about 20 July of this year, my wife and I heard what sounded like a gunshot inside our house, but when I checked the house from top to bottom, I found no broken windows or fallen objects. Two days later I discovered the cause of the noise. When I was in my study I noticed that the eIP2 sitting on a bookshelf had split open, and one of the 8 batteries inside had ruptured, leaving a black, powdery substance on the shelf. No damage was done other than to the device itself, but under other circumstances and conditions there might have been propery damage or personal injury. I called the telephone number on the package the eIP2 had come in, but received no answer on either the company’s toll free or local numbers. Failing to reach a company representative, I sent an email, but 6 days later I have received no response. Since one of the batteries in the device had exploded, I was concerned that one or more of the other 7 batteries might do so as well, so I called our county fire marshall’s office to seek guidance on how best to dispose of the device. The person I talked with wasn’t sure, but agreed that the device might pose a danger. I finally was able to drop it off at a facility that accepted rechargeable batteries after explaining what had happened. Here is info on the company that distributes the eIP2 and other Cellboost products:
