The company did also say this is not a safety issue; and Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will replace eligible battery cases, free of charge.
Finally, if your accessory is affected, you can contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider, Apple Support or make an appointment with an Apple Store.
