Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20200901-00DBA-2147370087. Matched catalog product: Apple Macbook Pro. Incident: The battery on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) swelled up to the point that it ruined the case and the keyboard. I believe this could have been a fire hazard. Batteries should not fail like this and I treated it very carefully, never letting it charge down very low and I only used the Apple supplied power brick and cord.
