Default SLIGHTLY SWOLLEN BRAND NEW LI-PO'S AFTER LONG STORAGE, NO GOOD?

Hey Guys, can someone advise me on this...I have a couple li-po batteries new but unused since Jan and I noticed today the are slightly swollen...are they garbage? The (3 cell) voltage is 12.2 volts. What causes a battery to swell aside from over discharge?

Thanks
Tom
