The product, in the report: 12 Pack of 3.7V 5000mAH 18650 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Yellow
Purchased a 12 piece set of lithium ion batteries from Amazon Sept, 9, 2016.
Have used them many of times in a strap on head lamp running a [REDACTED] LED light.
Driving my car at 10pm saturday 6/3/2017 had removed the device from on my head and set it on the center consul of my car. Began to hear a hissing sound I thought was emanating from my car radio. As I was adjusting the volume control on my radio which had no effect on the noise I was hearing, I realized the sound was something else. At that moment a bright flash and loud bang filled the cab of my automobile. What had exploded in my car blew shrapnel into both of my eyes making it impossible for me to keep my eyes open. Fortunately I was on a familiar road and was able to maintain control of my vehicle and pull off the roadway. I am a volunteer firefighter and carry a medic kit and bottled water which I immediately began flushing my eyes with. After 20 minutes on the side of the road i regained partial vision and was able to drive my car the 2.5 miles back to my house. My eyes hurt through the night but after about 12 hours returned to normal and the pain went away. Upon inspecting my vehicle the next morning discovered my windshield had been shattered from the force of the explosion. I contacted Amazon and informed them of the incident and they immediately refunded the entire purchase from last september and referred me to contact the seller and the CPSC. I have had no response from the seller in California except to say he would let the manufacturer know. My request for the name of the manufacturer was not complied with and all other letters sent have gone unanswered. including my demands for repair of my car’s windshield which has duct tape holding it together because I a, on Social Security and can not afford to replace a $450 windshield.
