Disposal behavior is a safety issue
The survey result points to a gap between battery use and end-of-life handling. It should be described as a finding among respondents, not as a measured rate for every U.S. household.
Education covers the product lifecycle
ESFI’s materials address purchasing, everyday use, workplace charging, transport and recycling. This lifecycle framing helps keep battery safety from being reduced to a single charging instruction.
Why the update matters
Rechargeable-device behavior matters to the broader charging-products market. The survey adds consumer-use context, while its findings remain limited to the rechargeable devices covered by the research rather than wall-mounted USB outlets.
