This kind of thing is why you ALWAYS tape up the contacts on lithium batteries (and any battery greater than 9.6 volts) when you ~~throw them away~~ recycle them, no matter what size they are. AAA, AA, 9V, even coin batteries and power tool battery packs.
Your local battery store will likely accept any batteries you have for recycling for free, unless it’s an absurd amount.
I accidentally threw a lithium battery into a fire once. Once. It sounded like three 12 gauges were going off simultaneously and blew a flaming ball of metal about 50 feet away. My husband was not pleased.

Anyone who had a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was it? Should be able to tell you.

This is why Li-ion and LiPo batteries are so dangerous
Erm is that what’s in Tesla batteries?
Nahhh. That’s just a taco bell turd
Is this why the phones kept exploding?
Watching this clip pains me to envision what this toddler went through, and probably forever going to have to deal with.
Just imagine that going off in your throat.
