Representatives from Elide Fire said the CPSC used evaluation criteria for fire extinguishers to analyze its product, even though it’s not a fire extinguisher.
The Thai manufacturer of the Elide Fire Extinguishing Balls, a product that claims to activate automatically in case of a fire and release fire retardant chemicals to help put it out, is pushing back on warnings from U.S. government officials that state its product is unsafe and can lead to death.
” Kaimart explained that Elide’s Fire Fighting Balls are designed to be installed at key risk points, such as the kitchen and above electrical control panels in the home, where they “activate automatically and suppress fires without the need for human intervention.” He added that the ball can also be used in emergency situations where individuals can throw a ball into the fire and stop the fire from spreading or put it out.
