Yes there has been an issue with batteries, but there is a bigger issue with most imports of cheap electrical/electronic goods coming in from China which are poor quality, substandard, cost cutting at the expense of safety, fake electrical components used in products and so on, so your charger that comes with your new Mobile maybe OK, but most of the replacements probable are not, in my experience after examining many electrical product out of China you are putting your life at risk using them, the CE, TuV, URL endorsements mean nothing, the Chinese stamp them on everything.

Again: "Made in China"!
