Consumers urged to immediately check for recalled LG solar batteries after Government safety warning notice

On "20/11/2023", the Assistant Treasurer, the Hon. Stephen Jones, issued a national safety warning notice to warn consumers of fire risks associated with recalled LG solar lithium-ion batteries installed in solar energy systems across Australia.

The affected batteries risk overheating and starting house fires that could potentially injure or kill occupants and cause property damage. About 8,000 affected LG batteries remain at risk in homes across Australia, with about 6,000 still unlocated.
