Battery expanding and warping bottom of laptop

[indayh]

Bottom of laptop is extremely warped. Saw some other people who this happened too. Should I be worried that the battery is going to explode, overheat, or start a fire? 

If this is a known issue was there anything HP was doing to address this? I have never seen a laptop do this before.
