The product, in the report: Computer mouse with a large trackball
In early March 2017, I purchased two Kensington Expert Wireless Trackball Mice for my office computers. The night before last, as I was working on my computer, I started smelling something burning. It was the Trackball. I opened the area where the batteries were, smoke was coming out and it was hot to the touch. Acid then started coming out of one of the batteries. I was able to pry out the batteries with a mail opener, and I saw that part of one battery was melted to the device. The batteries stayed very hot for a very long time. I think something is very wrong with this product.
