Cell phones always have a single cell as battery and work off of the ~ 3.7V directly via DC/DC buck converters and charges off of a 5V USB connection. I can't vouch for the Mi-fi. More problematic would be the now common application of Li batteries in tools such as drills and saws, in cordless personal care products; in most internet connected devices (not only my laptops have a Li cell, but also any *-pads, kindle and the sorts. Even my internet modem has a backup battery!
I don't charge my car in the livingroom, but the attached garage is just a layer of sheetrock removed from the living room... In there are a large number of CALB 180Ah cells...

In our house we regularly charge 3 portable computers, 2 mobile phones, a mi-fi router, and a e-scooter. Every one of them has a lithium ion battery. The computers and scooter have cell level BMSes. I don't know about the phones and mi-fi, but I doubt that they have cell-level control, and their chargers are powerful enough to charge them in 2-3 hours. No disasters yet!
