    The product, in the report: This is a Lenovo ThinkPad serial number PF28WD84 product number 20SAS03S00.purchased at Costco about 3 years ago

    Im having significant swelling, bulging, overheating on my ThinkPad Lenovo laptop serial number PF28WD84 I called Lenovo and they told me that it was completely safe and I didnt need to do anything and it was out of warranty I got pretty frustrated with that response as you might imagine I asked them if the machine could potentially catch fire and burn my house down and they said no Again Im appalled that they would even say that knowing that other machines have caught fire and burn houses down Anyhow, I thought I would pass that along
