The product, in the report: Lithium-ion Battery Pack for (OEM) DeWALT cordless drill. 18V 5000mAh Battery Pack Direct replacement for OEM Part# DC9096 Sold by Amazon.com Ordered on August 12, 2019 Order# 112-2568799-7477041 Amazon merchant seller name: Jialitt Amazon Merchant Info: https://www.amazon.com/sp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=1&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=112-2568799-7477041&seller=AGS089MMHXPF3&tab=&vasStoreID=
On August 15, 2019 I had a lithium-ion battery pack explode while in the charger which subsequently caught my house on fire. The battery exploded into a number of individual cells which continued to explode one-by-one starting several separate fires in my garage. It took two full fire extinguishers to put out the multiple fires over the course of 10 to 15 minutes . The battery pack had just been purchased from Amazon.com and installed into the charger about 6:30 pm on 09/14/2019. The battery pack exploded at 10:30 am the next morning 09/15/2019. The battery pack was an after-market direct replacement for a [REDACTED] cordless drill and sold as such. The battery pack was manufactured in China. I had fire damage and some property damage to my garage. If my wife and I had not been home at the time, or had the battery exploded during the middle of the night while we were sleeping the entire house would have gone up in flames. It was very fortunate that we heard the explosion and that I had two fire extinguishers ready nearby to quickly put out the multiple fires. I’m also lucky that I was not seriously injured while doing that since I only had shorts and sandals on at the time. I only sustained small burns on one toe and the top of my left foot where I came into contact with some of the hot metal or plastic while extinguishing the fires. There were lithium-ion cells still exploding while I was trying to extinguish the flames. I reported the incident to Amazon’s customer service department shortly after the fire that same morning and they immediately removed the product for sale from their online store and refunded my purchase, but that’s all they would do. I’ve spent almost three hours on the phone during 3 separate calls and have been given different instructions and responses each time. In the end I received an email from Amazon’s Executive Customer Relations department stating that Amazon takes no responsibility for any damages or losses caused by merchants selling through the Amazon marketplace...and that I could contact the merchant in China (through their merchant link) if I wanted to pursue the issue further with them.
One more thing - there have been a number of incidents of lithium-ion battery fires aboard commercial and package carrier aircraft, I’d like to see some regulation against Amazon (and other online only retailers) to force them to take liability for selling counterfeit and poor-quality after-market products through their online store. If I had purchased an OEM battery from a brick-and-mortar store or directly from the OEM (even if the OEM product was manufactured in China) both companies would be liable for the damage and losses caused by their product. Why does Amazon get a free pass on incurring any liability for the products that they sell? That regulation needs to be changed.
