FULL CIRCLE LITHIUM ANNOUNCES MAJOR RETAIL LAUNCH OF FCL-X LITHIUM BATTERY FIRE EXTINGUISHERS THROUGH ONE OF AMERICA'S LARGEST HOME IMPROVEMENT RETAILERS

Full Circle Lithium Corp. has begun the first major retail launch of its FCL-X lithium-ion-battery fire extinguisher through a new strategic partnership with one of the world's largest home improvement retailers. The launch marks a significant milestone in expanding access to advanced fire safety technology for consumers across the United States and addresses a rapidly growing hazard associated with everyday devices powered by lithium-ion batteries.

Bringing advanced fire protection to scale

Through this nationwide U.S. retail distribution platform, Full Circle's FCL-X extinguishers will now be available to millions of homeowners, contractors, commercial users and DIY (do-it-yourself) consumers seeking protection against emerging lithium-ion-battery fire risks.

Launch details and retail rollout

The partnership is non-exclusive and will begin with an initial on-line rollout on the retailer's e-commerce platform, providing immediate nationwide consumer access to the FCL-X extinguisher product line. Following the digital launch, the companies may plan a phased expansion into select physical retail locations across the United States.

Products:  three-litre, two-litre and one-litre extinguishers as well as a 20-ounce aerosol canister

Meeting an urgent and growing safety need

Lithium-ion batteries are now integral to daily life -- powering smart phones, laptops, tablets, cordless power tools, e-bikes, scooters, electric lawn equipment, backup power systems and electric vehicles. Industry analysts and fire safety agencies note that the average household now contains dozens of lithium-ion-battery cells across consumer products and devices.

The need is urgent and growing:

• Lithium-ion-battery fires are rising sharply in the United States, with major fire departments and federal agencies reporting significant year-over-year increases in incidents linked to rechargeable battery devices.
• In New York alone, the FDNY (Fire Department of New York) reported 277 lithium-ion-battery fires in 2024, following 268 incidents in 2023.
• FDNY officials reported that lithium-ion-battery fires caused 18 deaths in New York in 2023.
• Recent fires involving e-bikes, scooters, power banks and consumer battery-charging devices have caused extensive property damage, injuries and fatalities across multiple U.S. cities.
• Fire safety officials now describe lithium-ion batteries as one of the fastest-growing fire risks facing urban households and first responders.

Traditional red ABC fire extinguishers remain important for common household fires involving wood, paper, liquids and electrical equipment. However, lithium-ion-battery fires behave differently and can rapidly reignite after appearing extinguished due to thermal runaway. As a result, safety professionals increasingly recommend that households with rechargeable-battery devices keep a dedicated lithium-battery fire extinguisher in addition to a traditional ABC extinguisher.

"If you already have a red ABC extinguisher in your home, you should also have a silver FCL-X extinguisher to help protect your family, property and home from lithium battery fires," said Carlos Vicens, chief executive officer of Full Circle Lithium. "With lithium batteries now present in virtually every household device, consumers need modern fire protection solutions designed for these new risks. FCL-X offers an accessible, consumer-friendly solution at a relatively small investment compared with the potentially catastrophic consequences of a lithium-ion-battery fire."

A proven consumer solution

The FCL-X extinguisher represents a breakthrough in fire safety innovation:

• Undergone rigorous internal and external testing, demonstrating exceptional cooling capabilities and reduced off-gassing;
• Engineered to fully extinguish and suppress reignition -- one of the key challenges in lithium-ion-battery-related fires;
• Safe and simple for consumer use in homes, garages, workshops, recreational properties and charging/storage areas.

For the first time, consumers have direct retail access to a solution purpose built for one of North America's fastest-growing fire risks.

Expanding safety for modern living

"This partnership marks a major step forward in public safety," said Mr. Vicens. "Lithium-ion-battery fires are becoming more frequent and severe, and until now, consumers have had limited access to a proven, effective extinguishing solution designed for these incidents. By bringing FCL-X to a major national retail platform -- starting on-line and potentially expanding into stores -- FCL is helping ensure that homeowners are better equipped to protect their families, properties and communities from a new generation of fire hazards."
