I have received the following email from eBay. On investigation the link to the europa safety gate takes me to an entirely different product, namely a games console charger. I trawled the site for a warning on the battery and no such warming exists. The original email text here:

If you search online there is a warning to stop using "unauthorised" Dyson replacement batteries.
"Safety regulators warned consumers to immediately stop using certain lithium-ion replacement battery packs in Dyson vacuums that have been linked to three reported fires."
