I use the toaster and hair dryer when I'm in the bathtub.[emoji6]
I wouldn't sell batteries to anyone unless they were in a battery box and their lawyer was present.

Totally agree. The cost to the company to provide a plastic case is minimal compared to the thousands they could be sued for, let alone saving the injuries from occurring. If customers purchased batteries that came with a case and then failed to use that case at least the company covered itself. Not following directions would then fall to the end user. Responsible use should fall to the end user with any product used, not just ecigs or cell phones. I always totally understand any product before I even attempt to use it.Jesus, anti-vaping is going to have a field day with this. Its always the batteries nowadays isnt it? Maybe on top of the small boxes companies could include small rubber caps for each end of the battery when not in use. This way people dont need to keep the box or buy a case to carry batteries around. Sort of like the rubber top that comes with the UWell crown II coils. I know you can buy stuff but maybe if the batteries just came with rubber tops people wouldnt really have an excuse for completely unprotected batteries.
Agreed. I am fortunate to have 2 great stores that do practice battery/vaping safety with their customers.(They carry ALOT of battery cases).However, in this case, battery safety is a very serious issue that can have long reaching repercussions if you don't handle them properly. This isn't like an alkaline battery that you've tossed in your pocket over the years. The power behind a lithium ion battery has the ability to seriously injure you.
I would hazard a guess that most shops don't even carry the plastic cases for batteries, and you know good and well that the employees aren't saying boo about safety to their customers.
There have been many house fires from people throwing out 9v batteries in the trash.
Do they sue Walmart?
Fire departments warn 9-volt batteries are serious fire hazards

Right, a AA is 1.5 volts, but a 9 volt is a fire hazard.I've nearly had my leg burnt by AA's, but 140 degrees F, 65 C is not a fire hazard.
