The product, in the report: Pill 5 swollen battery
Company: Google LLC Product: Google Pixel 5 Issue Type: Safety concern / Unsafe return instructions / Warranty replacement dispute I am filing a complaint regarding a Google Pixel 5 replacement involving a swollen lithium battery. Google approved a replacement as a safety exception due to battery swelling. However, they are requiring me to return the original device using a provided return kit that does not safely accommodate the swollen battery. I have provided photographs showing that the swollen battery will not fit into the provided packaging without compression. I do not feel safe forcing the device into the return kit due to fire risk associated with damaged lithium-ion batteries. This issue has been discussed over 20 emails and chats but remains unresolved. Additionally, I mentioned multiple times to help during my time zone CST, but responses have consistently arrived around 3:00 AM, late evening, and near midnight Central Time, making timely communication difficult. I have requested: A safe method that does not require compressing the swollen battery Clarification regarding advanced replacement (to avoid being without a phone) Escalation to a supervisor during Central Time I am seeking assistance in resolving this matter safely and reasonably.
