I had one leak inside of a wireless Apple keyboard (~$100), a digital camera (~$250) and a polaroid camera (~$150); it's unfortunate that these happened.. but this is out of MANY devices I've used batteries in. Kirkland batteries leaked much more frequently.
In the above 3 cases, I emailed duracell, they asked for photos of the damage & the batteries, the product and price paid, and where to mail a check to. They didn't ask me for the products back (batteries or damaged products) and simply mailed a check for the full value. It keeps me going back to Duracell, which I know sounds stupid because they ruined 3 devices.. but they came through and did better than I expected each time.

Ship the battery to manufacturer if leaks doesn't sound very cost effective.

No disrespect meant because I bought these recently but replacing a 50 cent battery is not the issue. I try to never leave any batteries in devices that I'm not using regularly (i.e., AC remote in the winter).

Kirkland batteries are made by Duracell.
I'm a big costco/kirkland fan, but their batteries are one thing I'll never buy again
because AA are used in many devices but 9v are basically used in smoke alarms and old timey transistor radios.
