Shame - with a bit of effort you could find that Hoaxbusters is up, but the front page is down, so I'll give you that one!
Regarding your advice to check the facts, the fact is that it seems only the cheaper third-party batteries can overheat and explode and those cases have been reported. To my knowledge there has not been a case of a correctly functioning origiinal-equipment battery reported as malfunctioning.
Generally i find thats peeps don t bother to do a bit of research before thety forward these panic-button type of emails around the planet.
Sorry if I gave you any other impression.
However it doesn't list this particular hoax, walthough Hoax Slayer does.
f you're living life on the edge, you've got too much room.
