Can you burn to death in a heated winter jacket?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33158points) August 21st, 2019

Apparently this latest winter gift is a heated winter jacket. (Here is an example.)

It contains a lithium ion battery (rechargeable) which powers the heating element.

Given the history of lithium ion batteries and their record of catching fire when charged, would this be a safe purchase?
