The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

    The product, in the report: This is a storage battery so installed residential solar systems

    The battery for my Solar System stopped working, and I reported it to the dealer that installed it.

The manufacturer- LG Chem- still has not exchanged/replaced this battery as of 25 May 2022.
