Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20170417-B0AE2-2147404294. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Apple MacBook Pro 13in. Source model text: Macbook Pro 13in Mid 2010. Incident: In early April, I noticed my MacBook Pro case was bulging and expanding. Because I was concerned that something was wrong, I unscrewed the screws off the back of the laptop and noticed the battery in the computer had significantly expanded and looked as if it was going to explode. I immediately removed the swollen battery from the laptop.
