Don't charge them above the rated charge current and buy from a reputable manufacture.

Most companies nowadays incorporate safety features like shutdown separators, PTCs, and vents to minimize these occurrences. There are also safety standards they must meet before they can be shipped by air or ground. I personally wouldn't buy a large format lithium ion battery unless it has a UL, IEC, or ANSI marking on it.
