Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act
Sponsored By: Representative Torres, Ritchie [D-NY-15]
Passed House
Summary
Mandatory safety standards for lithium-ion batteries used in micromobility devices. This bill would require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to adopt three specific ANSI/CAN/UL standards within 180 days and set a clear process for future updates.
Show full summary
- Consumers: Creates federal safety rules for lithium-ion batteries in e-bikes, scooters, and similar micromobility products so buyers and riders know which batteries must meet the standards.
- Manufacturers and importers: Would have to follow the three named ANSI/CAN/UL standards and any future approved revisions. A revised voluntary standard becomes a federal standard 180 days after notification unless the CPSC rejects it within 90 days because it does not improve safety.
- CPSC and oversight: Requires the CPSC to issue final consumer product safety standards within 180 days and to submit a report within five years on fires, explosions, and other hazards tied to these batteries. The report must, when known, describe the incident source, make and model, whether the battery complied with the required standard, and the battery maker and country of manufacture.

Consumer battery safety for micromobility
This bill would require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to adopt three safety standards for lithium‑ion batteries in micromobility devices. The CPSC would have 180 days after enactment to issue final rules. If a referenced standard is revised later, the standards group must notify the CPSC and the revision would take effect 180 days after notice unless the CPSC, within 90 days, finds it does not improve safety. The CPSC would treat the adopted standards and revisions as consumer product safety rules and must report to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee within five years about fires, explosions, and other lithium‑ion battery hazards, including product and manufacturer details when known.
