Dear Nokia Customer,
This is a product advisory for the
Nokia-branded BL-5C battery manufactured by Matsushita Battery
Industrial Co. Ltd. of Japan between December 2005 and November
2006. This product advisory does not apply to any other
Nokia battery.
Nokia has identified that in very rare cases the affected batteries
could potentially experience over heating initiated by a short
circuit while charging, causing the battery to dislodge. Nokia is
working closely with relevant local authorities to investigate this
situation.
Nokia has several suppliers for BL-5C batteries that have
collectively produced more than 300 million BL-5C batteries. This
advisory applies only to the 46 million batteries manufactured by
Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006. There have been
approximately 100 incidents of over heating reported globally. No
serious injuries or property damage have been reported.
Consumers with a BL-5C battery subject to this advisory should note
that all of the approximately 100 incidents have occurred while
charging the battery. According to Nokia's knowledge this issue
does not affect any other use of the mobile device. Concerned
consumers may want to monitor a mobile device while charging that
contains a BL-5C battery subject to this product advisory.
While the occurrence in the BL-5C batteries produced by Matsushita
in the time-period specified is very rare, for consumers wishing to
do so, Nokia and Matsushita offer to replace any BL-5C battery
subject to this product advisory.
