While Nokia and Matsushita were busying settling the disputes that arose when the phone maker had to recall some 46 million handset batteries, a lady in India has been injured by a Nokia-branded cell that’s not on that list. Located in eastern India, the woman noted that the BL-D3 series battery “blew up about 10 minutes after it was put on charge,” resulting in a “ball of fire” that led to minor burn injuries to the user.
