Today we are surrounded by lithium-ion batteries, from earbuds to electric vehicles to satellites Things can go bad, most consumers are not really aware about the chemistry and potentially hazards since it's heavily under communicated. Not really trying to raise a discussion about the topic but rather raise awareness to todays grand portable tech. Fire/smokealarm should be mandatory in every rom where lithium-ion batteries are stored.
