Yes, but this article is mostly talking about TEMU or Amazon fly-by-night brand batteries, so you have to take their word that they are using Lipo4 cells and not just blatantly lying like they do for every other aspect of the product.
There are lithium ion chemistries that are less likely to thermal runaway, LMO (Lithium Manganese Oxide) is used in power tools and they don't seem to go up. Tradeoff is lower capacity.
