[H-GEN] Li-Ion batteries.

Li-ion batteries aren't at fault. They are no more dangerous than that tank of
fuel you have in the back of the car, or that water you drink. All three are
capable of causing harm if used inappropriately.

Yes, design faults can lead to Li-ion batteries catching fire, but I've seen all
 bits of laptops (including LCD panels) catch fire over the years. And if you
still don't believe me Li-ion is safe, check your phone battery type and
consider how many times you have dropped that.

No need for any scaremongering or lame Dell-Sucks jokes, the recall has been
issued, check if your batteries need replacing, and move on with life.
