I've yet to have a failure either. My interest was in whether the bags
really do the job they are supposed to do.

No, I have not seen any fire, smoking or dangerous issues, Ron.  But I
always use the recommended chargers and charging formats.  I always charge
them in the fire bag and never indoors or unattended.  Like anything else
that's dangerous, they demand respect.

Have you ever had a battery failure and fire in one of them? 

The ones I've seen on line that state they are tested under actual failure
conditions are more than $500 USD.

I have been using charging bags similar to these for over 6 years to charge
LiPO batteries for my fleet of RC airplanes.  Very prevalent and highly
recommended within the RC hobby field.  Not necessarily this specific brand,
but I've never had an issue.
