    On January 15th, major US airlines put into place a prohibition on using luggage with lithium batteries. Now, the company Raden has shut down because of this ban. "Raden is no longer in operation," says the note on their website. "All existing shipments have been processed for delivery. You can still travel with your Raden cases, with the batteries simply removed as directed by each airline. Our companion app will continue to pair to your bags. Unfortunately, we can no longer process returns, exchanges or repairs."
