A woman dropped the gadget; when she picked it up and turned it back on, the phone burst into flames. She suffered some minor burns to her face and neck, but she's going to be OK. Nokia passed the blame buck to the battery maker -- evidently, the woman had replaced her original battery with a non-Nokia brand.
