Not if LG were recalling half a million Lithium-Ion batteries due to fire and risk of exploding it's not virtually impossible. Lithium-Ion is the same battery type the iPod and other electronics use as well, and still they made the mistake of using them for keeping the iPod small and lots of battery life.
They should have used Nickel-Cadmium batteries.

That's not true. LG, Sony, Lenovo (IBM) and Dell were recalling half a million Lithium-Ion batteries due to fire and risk of explosions. And iPods/iPhones use the same batteries as well.
