TSA issues strict warning: Keep electric toothbrushes out of checked baggage
TSA now advises travelers to pack electric toothbrushes and other lithium battery-powered devices in carry-on bags, not checked luggage. Lithium batteries pose a fire risk in cargo holds due to potential overheating and ignition. Keeping them in the cabin allows immediate action if a problem arises, ensuring passenger safety and compliance with regulations.
