What is the Problem?
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Sublue Mix Underwater Scooters’ lithium-ion batteries can overheat and ignite, posing a fire hazard to consumers. This phenomenon is called thermal runaway. Thermal runaway is a chain reaction where a battery overheats, causing it to release more heat and potentially catch fire or explode. It’s dangerous because it can happen quickly, spread to nearby batteries or materials, and is difficult to stop once it starts.
Sublue and the CPSC have received at least 161 reports of thermal runaway involving the Sublue Mix Underwater Scooters’ lithium-ion batteries, including multiple reports of fire and injuries. The CPSC warns consumers to stop using the Sublue Mix Underwater Scooters immediately.
