Nokia cites fake batteries in phone explosions

Every once in a while an accident happens, again, where someone is burned by their Nokia phone blowing up and once again, Nokia makes a statement, saying that it has to do with counterfeit batteries and that original batteries sold with its phones are safe. Maybe Nokia should print a warning in large letters on the box and on the battery itself. [ZDNet]
