- Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of fire as a manufacturing fault can lead to corrosion across the ribbon cable terminal where it mates with the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for the Battery Management System. Stress on the product's capacitor can lead to the sealing mechanism becoming compromised, which can cause electrolytes to leak onto the PCB. If there is arcing across the sense ribbon terminal, the resistors can overheat, and the product can ignite. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Our note — not the regulator’s words
THE AMERICAN NOTICE FOR THE SAME DEFECT SAYS ONLY THAT THE BATTERIES CAN OVERHEAT. CPSC 23-140, published twelve days earlier on 2 March 2023, covers the same model number and the same three serial ranges and gives the hazard as "The batteries can overheat, posing thermal burn and fire hazards." The UK notice gives the chain of events instead. Both are held, and neither replaces the other.
Everything above this is the notice’s own text. This paragraph is ours, and it is here because the notice cannot be read correctly without it.
