No one hurt Made Oct 4, 2019, sent to the company Oct 22, 2019, published by CPSC Nov 5, 2019
The product, in the report: battery swollen pushing up the case and system board.
Computer’s battery has swollen just past warranty. It may not seems to be a problem.. however, if you look at their websites they are now selling battery “additional” warranty.
I also have seeming this kind of problem at my work where we have high quality batteries that have swollen.
Appear manufacturers are taken advantage of matters by selling the warranty and down play the concern by tell us this is not an issue on the online forms.

The product, in the report: Laptop Battery
The caller stated that his laptop battery exploded, there were flames erupting from the unit. The desk where the laptop was located caught fire and burnt the paint on the wall nearby, this dissipated in a few minutes. He immediately removed the unit to discard it outside in doing so he received 2nd degree burns to his left thumb. The fire extinguisher was used to contain the fire on the laptop. The fire dept was contacted and he received treatment for his injury on the scene.
There is no estimate of property damages at this time. The manufacturer was not contacted as yet.
The caller feels that this laptop is a fire hazard and should be investigated.
