SD450 and third party battery

Hey all... hope everyone had a merry Christmas.

I received a Canon SD450 as a gift, and along with it a Merkury Innovations battery. I am kind of wary using 3rd party parts, so I emailed Canon regarding the use of it in the camera. The response I received was:


Thank you for contacting Canon product support. We value you as a Canon
customer and appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

We do not recommend using third party batteries because we cannot
confirm or guarantee how they will work in the camera. It would be best
not to use this battery.

We hope this information is helpful to you regarding the PowerShot
SD450. Please feel free to contact us again if you have any other
questions or concerns.

From what I see here, they don't explicitly say it will ruin the camera. Do you all think it's safe to use the camera? I'm guessing yes, but I guess I just want some confirmation. Thanks.
