Making a battery actually catch fire takes a faulty battery, a serious smashing, or a serious overheating, afaict.
Since the glasses are much lighter than, say, a phone, I suspect that damaging and thus shorting a battery as a result of a fall is less likely.
A bad charger, or a construction defect, may of course destroy the battery and set it to fire. If the phone industry is any indication, this happens pretty rarely, and is more or less a solved problem.
