Man... somebody put the fear of God into the OP re. LiPos....
OP.. Unless your nose is right next it you will be fine. I've had one go up on the kitchen island.. granite, so I wasn't too worried... it smelled VERY, VERY bad... no fire... just smoky.... but post analysis..... IQ is the same, I still work daily and have time for hiking and soccer... family still seems happy.
I don't store them in hay or wrapped in cardboard... but nor are they in fort knox.... I like the hearth idea....
I think you'll be 100% safe upstairs from any gassing if it explodes in a ball of fire.
