Swollen HP Omen battery?

[Somethingblue]

The area to the right of my Omen’s touchpad, just beneath the arrow keys, is severely swollen. I purchased this Omen 17.3 in laptop in 2017, so the 2-year warranty just expired. I’m assuming it’s the battery that has swollen. Will HP do anything to resolve this?

I’ve only seen this sort of thing happen once before, with a 7-year-old MacBook my wife owned. I have liked the function and style of the Omen, but if this is what is going to happen right after the 2-year warranty expiration, I’m not sure I’ll be sticking with the brand.

Edit:
I am accepting the solution offered below, because HP Support did, in the end, send me a new battery. However, I wanted to offer a PSA to anyone else experiencing this issue, since getting the new battery required a long conversation, in which the support representative initially told me there was nothing they would do. 

A swollen, potentially flammable battery is a serious safety issue, and other HP batteries from the 2017 timeframe have been recalled because of it. Is HP waiting for someone's house to burn down before they authorize replacement of swollen batteries in Omen laptops? Make sure you hold HP accountable for the safety of its customers. There is no reason, during the reasonable expected lifespan of a laptop, that a swollen battery should not be replaced free of charge, warranty or not.
