The problem I see
...and correct me if I'm wrong. But this the second occurance from the same manufacturer. Why would Apple continue to use them after the first? Why would any company, including Apple, continue to use a vendor after they showed a certain level of incompetence that opens themselves to recalls and safety concerns. And the only reason I would hold Apple a little more to this is due to their pricing. The sell a top-shelf prices so let's see some top-shelf parts, including the battery. But again this holds for all computer manufacturers, not just Apple.
