I had a blackberry phone swell up about 8 or 9 years ago, and it was only
a few months old.  It was replaced under warranty and the replacement
never did that fortunately.

Remember the Samsung battery disaster from a few years ago?  The Note
7 I think it was in 2016.

Seems there were a lot of battery issues around 2015 and 2016.
