That's only because you have a website keeping track of this 'ish' filled with trolls and "If Steve were alive.." kind of people. All companies have issues products which is why the lawyers on staff are paid so well. Do you know the last 5 user complaints from Samsung, Google or Oppo?

Geez. My "series 0" Apple watch is older than hers and looks nicer. What on earth did she do to it?
Anecdotally, I’ve never heard of this issue occurring on any of the Watches on people I know. Saying that to give contrast to how widespread the issue may be relative to, say, the butterfly keyboard where I have heard of the issue occurring on multiple occasions. Similar ratio of devices per friends, ymmv.
“Upon information and belief, the Defect is caused by aging or otherwise faulty li-on batteries, or by defective internal components of the Watches that regulate temperature, electrical currents, charging, and other mechanisms that could affect the Watches' li-on batteries,“
In other words they have no clue and are throwing out every possible cause they can think of.

Girl that watch is beat up, cut up, and scratched. She must've been doing baseball slides wrists first.
And they say Apple products are hard to repair; this one disassembles itself!
Now if only it could pop its screen off on command…

Eh, my battery replacement experience for the S0 was absolutely abysmal so I'm curious to learn more about this one.
As a former class-action lawyer, I'm pretty sure the answer will be that this goes nowhere. At best, it survives a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment. There's not a chance a court would certify the proposed class.
Yes, this is gibberish that someone made up after finding isolated complaints on online forums. It's not worthy of our time.
Because of the broken screen and other noticeable damage. There are no outright signs of a swollen battery here at all.
Make the batteries easy to replace. Then issue is resolved. They're doing it on purpose. I hope they get sued and sued and sued again until the batteries are easy to replace.
I have worked with mine on my wrist everyday since launch(series 0) and it looks like it has been inside a wood chipper. Still works ok other then the gunk I have down in the crown doesn’t let it work most of the time.
Apple has/had a warranty programme for this issue once, clearly not an isolated issue
Ok, what type of CEO was the Samsung CEO who allowed the exploding Galaxy Note 7's?
I'm noticing more hardware issues in Apple's products lately. I'm also noticing that iOS and MacOS are a bit more buggy than past releases (during the Jobs era). I wonder if this is because of cutting production costs or trying to push out tech before it's ready... or both.
Steve Jobs would have never allowed so many issues. People would be fired or screamed at, whatever. But I get the idea that Tim Cook's regime doesn't hold a high standard and is more about inclusion than product integrity.

I've never had an issue with any of my 3 watches so far. If it did happen I'd take it into Apple immediately and any swollen battery would be clearly visible.

Apple offers battery replacements in-warranty for free. Out of warranty it’s $79. Either way the battery is super easy to replace, just bring it to an Apple store and they’ll take care of it.

LOL, my dads had this problem and the screen popped off, you know what he did? Took it to the Apple store, they apologized and gave him a new one. I guess he could have filed a lawsuit? If he was bored, and an idiot? I don’t know, sounds like a company doing exactly what they should do?
