If true that would indeed be wise. Also for everyone else using that particular pager.

The few smart phone battery fire videos I've seen reminded me more of fountain fireworks than the explosive sound Bloomberg published.

There's discussion on HackerNews too about whether these are:

1. Normal lithium batteries with some software exploit;

2. Batteries modified (e.g. intercepted during shipping) to explode

3. Added explosives

Maybe they bought the batteries from whoever made these :-) https://youtu.be/xu13u-jWasg
