And it's not just the phones, tablets have the same habit, especially the A series. About 90% of the swollen battery devices were from Samsung.
Yes, I've worked at a third party service up until a few months ago and I can't remember a single S or Note series without this issue. Usually it was due to intense usage or even slight torsion (wearing it in the pocket of your jeans) or if you changed the temperature a lot (taxi drivers were regulars) oddly enough we never had recurring problems with third party battery packs, so definitely a problem there.

OK, so I read the article and found that it was phones damaged by abuse and improper handling. Too funny!
Yeah, so funny that you said it was one phone, when it was MANY.
And intense use, wearing it in your pocket, or changing temperatures while driving, is not abuse or improper handling. That is expected use, and Samsung is doing a poor job of creating devices that can't handle usage. Samsung builds them in their commie Chinese factories, and they're dangerous phones.
