⚠️

Important Notice: The Fire Safety Stick is not suitable for tackling Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery fires. Li-ion fires require specialist suppression equipment. If you are in an environment where Li-ion batteries are present — such as EV charging areas, battery storage facilities or warehouses — please ensure appropriate specialist fire suppression is in place alongside the Fire Safety Stick. In such cases, do not attempt to fight the fire yourself — call the emergency services immediately, as only trained firefighters with specialist equipment are equipped to safely tackle Li-ion battery fires.
