On Tuesday, February 6, the Lithium-Ion Task Force, comprised of Fire Marshals, the Bureau of Fire Prevention, and the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, inspected Wilson Scooters located at 101-19 Queens Boulevard in Queens. The teams found illegal, alarming conditions. The shop was repairing and building their own battery packs from individual lithium-ion battery cells. In addition, the business was manufacturing their own devices.
As firefighters removed the lithium-ion batteries, some began to fail and ignite and had to be extinguished. Multiple fines and violations were issued at this business.
