Well I've been building a new electric RC plane and while I was installing the electronics, I accidently cut into a 11.1 volt 910mah Lithium Polymer battery and it instantly vented with flame. Similar to what happens in this video:

Suffice it to say it freaked me out pretty good. I instantly threw the smoking mess out the back door, and opened up all the doors and windows and set up a fan to blow the smoke out of the house all while holding my breath. I hope the fumes don't kill me.
I did a google search to try to find out the toxicity levels of LiPo batteries and couldn't find much so I'm hoping it's not too toxic.
Lesson, don't mix razor blades and batteries!
