The product, in the report: Author Clock (small size) https://www.authorandco.com/
Swollen Lithium Battery. I purchased an Author Clock from the original kickstarter campaign. Recently Ive noticed that internal lithium battery needs to be charged frequently. I contacted the company multiple times without a response to understand if a replacement was available. Eventually I disassembled the Author Clock myself and discovered the lithium battery was dangerously swollen. I again alerted the company with photos but received no response. I then carefully removed the battery and brought it to a hazardous waste disposal site. The company should be aware the original units may be experiencing similar symptoms and should advise customers on a safe course of action (and to not try To continue to charge their devices.)
