The failure rate of a quality Li-ion cell is better than 1 in 10 million. Lithium-ion batteries have a failure rate that is less than one in a million. By comparison, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say that your chance of being struck by lightning in the course of a lifetime is about 1 in 13,000. "With more than a billion mobile phones and computers used in the world every day, the number of accidents is small. I wonder how many other S7 handsets have the same "manufacturing fault" and how similar a fault it is to the infamous S7 Note? She's going to get back to me later with an update. Phoning today I spoke to Rachel who advised the battery was out of stock so they'd had to order one in. The phone would be back with me middle of last week. They are also replacing the screen FOC due to some burn-in. Samsung collected the phone week before last and phoned me Sunday 30th June to say they battery had indeed expanded, due to a manufacturing fault, and it would be replaced FOC. Perhaps a recall for all these handsets would bancrupt them? But then so would a downed airliner as almost happened with the Note (see. Is Samsung trying to hide away from the issues reported with various handsets in the Daily Mail article above? Has anyone alse had the same issue with the S7, and what was the resolution?

In view of the recall for the S7 Note due to fires in 2016 (which also assists my case), the Daily Mail article, and Dale Holzworth's USA class action when his S7 Edge burst into flames I am naturally concerned about the battery getting hot and expanding as I am aware of the issue of thermal runaway with these battery types. The problem seems to be caused by the battery expanding and forcing the back away. Due to the widespread occurance of this issue my recourse in law is different from a one-off breakdown or fault where the one year UK warranty or two year EU warranty would be more relevant and an out of warranty claim more tricky to pursue. The phone was purchased 30 June 2016 and I am protected for six years by the statute of limitations in the UK so well within time. I have spoken to my legal adviser and am told that due to the vast amount of similar issues this is obviously a manufacturing defect and that in the UK I am protected by S.23 Consumer Protection Act 2015 in that the retailer must repair or replace the handset within a reasonable time at no cost to me.
