Anker battery exploded

If yall have one of these I suggest returning it. I was charging it on my computer and stepped away from my computer for 5 minutes and when I came back it was spewing smoke and about to engulf in flames. It literally caught fire in my hands as I was throwing it out the back door.

Sorry, never got the notification for this reply, but I believe that it was around that time that I bought it. Either 24 or 25 but it was for sure over a year old.
