• Choose trusted brands that meet Canadian safety standards. Look for ULC, CSA, or ETL marks, and avoid cheap or knock-off devices.
• Keep batteries and devices away from pets. Chewing wrapped battery-powered gifts under the tree can damage the battery and cause it to spark, catch fire, or, in some cases, explode.
• Always charge devices on a hard, flat surface — never on beds, couches, pillows, or blankets.
• Keep batteries at room temperature. Do not charge or store them in very hot or very cold places.
• Stop using a device or battery if it leaks, swells, smells odd, feels hot, changes shape, or makes unusual sounds.
