My friends at support had to deal with dozens of original Apple batteries that swelled up. And, contrary to what people may think, Apple doesn't consider a swollen battery a safety issue.[0] But, for certain models, they would replace it at no fee (although such support programs have ended IIRC).

- HWR_14 3y agoThey don't consider all swollen batteries to be safety issues. Clearly, what that page is referring to is that a specific product line was having batteries swell up for non-safety reasons. They still got replaced, but it makes sense if Apple knows the cause and it's not safety related.
