⚠️ Important California Fire Extinguisher Regulations
Click here for more details
▼
California law prohibits selling handheld fire extinguishers without UL equipment & fire testing approval. One UL equipment requirement is a pressure gauge, making all aerosol disposable extinguishers illegal in the state. Below are two conventional ABC extinguishers that are readily available on Amazon like the AA500, which also lack UL approval and are illegal to sell in California.
Our AH-Series extinguishers do have pressure gauges and comply with UL equipment standards, but UL has yet to develop a fire testing standard for lithium-ion battery fires. We’ve discussed this regulatory gap with the California State Fire Marshal, but they have yet to address. Due to this lack of a UL fire testing standard, the agent has been independently third-party tested, the extinguishers are designed to be UL equipment standards compliant (for eventual approval once a fire testing standard is created), and the extinguishers are sold as “Supplement Use.”
The result is, we currently sell to California customers in only six limited circumstances outlined below:
- Extinguishers used for testing purposes: Documentation: Email from either customer or sales rep
- Customers with their own firefighting function/group/department: Documentation: Email from either customer or sales rep
- Customers with approval from local fire department or fire marshal: Documentation: Digital copy of approval provided by customer or sales rep
- U.S. Government locations (e.g., DOD, USCG, FAA, USDA): Documentation: None required
- Marine vessels temporarily docked in California: Documentation: Email from either customer or sales rep
- California customers with an order ship-to address outside California: Documentation: Email from either customer or sales rep
Please let us know which circumstance this order falls under and provide the appropriate documentation.

LiCELL - 6L AVD - Lithium Battery Fire Extinguisher
Product Description: The LiCELL AH006 is a portable fire extinguisher containing AVD (Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion) agent, designed to address thermal runaway of lithium battery fires. It's suitable for lithium battery (Li-ion and Li-poly), electrical, and Class A fires. This environmentally friendly extinguisher has no Global Warming Potential (GWP) and is non-toxic to people, animals, and plants.
Lithium battery fires are driven by thermal runaway caused by cell failure from damage, defects, short circuits, overcharging, or overheating. The LiCELL™ extinguishers encapsulate the fire source with a non-flammable oxygen barrier, providing a cooling effect to address thermal runaway. This can significantly protect lives and assets from catastrophic fires.
Lithium Battery Failure Causes:
- Physical impact or penetration
- Overheating
- Short circuits
- Internal cell failure
- Manufacturing defects
With the rise of lithium battery technology, there is a growing risk of lithium battery fires. It's crucial to have the right precautions in place, as the consequences can be severe.
