The batteries are to blame for at least 30 fires in New York City so far this year.
Just last week, the New York City Council passed legislation banning the sale of unregulated lithium-ion batteries.
And last month, the FDNY fire commissioner sent a letter to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission asking it to consider legislation that would prevent the sale and use of unapproved, refurbished batteries. "This could be in your home and if you can do this amount of damage to a store of this size, just think of the danger that it can confront -- to yourself, to your family, to your building," Kavanagh said.
The loss of the supermarket will impact many in the community and will leave many with one less option when it comes to access to fresh food.
