Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20200601-43AA5-2147371975. Product: Ryobi Ryobi 40v battery and charger, purchased 5-10-2020.. Incident: My husband and I bought a Ryobi lawn mower with the 40v battery and charger on May 10, 2020 from Home Depot in Summerville, SC. The lawn mower was used three times and then the battery acted flukey and would not charge/hold a charge. We tried one more time to charge the battery on 5-30 with plans to return the product on 5-31. The 40v battery exploded and caused a fire in our house.
