A recent fire in a Housing Board estate involved a personal mobility device (PMD) battery bought from an online second-hand source instead of an authorised retailer. LTA highlighted that non-compliant mobility devices pose severe fire risks. "During this period, we caught seven retailers for offences related to the sale of non-compliant devices," added LTA in the post. Those caught selling non-compliant devices may face up to $40,000 fine, 24 months' jail or both. LTA advised: "For your safety, only purchase devices and components from reputable sources and always check for defects and modifications when purchasing second-hand devices or components."
