Nokia Sued Over Someone Else's Exploding Batteries?

Stories of Nokia phones exploding are nothing new -- though, in almost every case so far, it's been shown that the culprit has been a counterfeit battery. We've complained in the past that Nokia has been rather insensitive to reports of exploding phones. Even if it isn't their fault, they should be a bit more sensitive to the problem.
