Most of these involve things like overheating of the battery, which can lead to fire. I’ve never, to this point, heard of an MP3 player catching fire, though.

Unfortunately for this pregnant Indian woman, it didn’t include her battery, which was of a different series, and which exploded 10 minutes after she plugged it into the charger. The battery that exploded was, however from the firm’s BL-D3 series, and not from BL-5C that Nokia recalled a month ago, police said.

The model # on the back of the battery is so small I can barely read it. And it's near impossible to tell I from 1, or O from 0; looks like if I want to be sure, I do pass the BL-5C initial test, that I'll need to invest in a magnifying glass. To top it off, you can just enter 26 random characters and it will tell you you're not part of the recall. Guess they don't have a regex validation or anything set up that would check formatting/certain characters. Might make it easier to make sure you enter ed a valid number.
