No one hurt Made Dec 14, 2024, sent to the company Jan 10, 2025, published by CPSC Jan 27, 2025
The product, in the report: Greenworks Pro 80V rechargeable lithium ion battery (model BAB726, serial# GWA 1692706 YW 06/18/21 VN) that was left on the charger. The charger was a Greenworks Pro 80V Lithium-Ion Battery Charger (model 2901402, serial# 1082304122100371)
While investigating a carbon monoxide alarm incident in a residence, I confirmed the presence of high levels of carbon monoxide in the home (garage) using a [REDACTED] gas monitor. When searching for a source for carbon monoxide in the garage, the only possible source appeared to be an 80V Greenworks Pro lithium ion battery that had been left on its charger for several months. There was no notable damage to the battery or charger and there did not appear to be any other problems other than the presence of carbon monoxide in the area. After unplugging the battery charger from AC power and ventilating the garage and rest of the home, there was no return of carbon monoxide to the home. I returned several hours later and found no measurable CO in the home or garage, which points to the battery on the charger being the source of the carbon monoxide.

No one hurt Made Jul 8, 2022, sent to the company Jul 29, 2022, published by CPSC Aug 12, 2022
The product, in the report: the defect is with a GreenWorks 24V battery model LB24A020 Serial number GWZ2922832 manufactured 10/18/20 with letters YW following the date.
Lithium battery does not fully engage contacts causing an intermittent connection which causes the contacts to heat and the tool to operate sporadically. The problem is with a mold defect on the battery which interferes with the battery being fully inserted.
