9 Volt Battery burns down house
#1

Thought I would pass this along.
In a local paper there was an article where it was determined that a house fire was caused by a 9 volt battery. The battery was stored in a miscellaneous drawer with other metal items such as paper clips.
The danger as it was pointed out is that the negative and positive are beside each other and easy to short out on any metal object. It is suggested to make sure that the batteries are stored in their original package or wrapped with tape covering the contacts.

Maybe we should have a place dedicated to recalls/safety issues.
