Illegal to ship damaged batteries was my thought.

That's provided the carrier service they're using has these measures In place.

Will they find a way for me to  ship the item back?

They may suggest alternative services.

You can also use the disposed the faulty Item method, whereby you threw It out due to health & safety concerns for your family.

The item is arriving today, ups says signature required. Will see how it plays out and go from there. 🤞
