This is entirely plausible and one of the problems with Li ion batteries. They are extremely sensitive to contamination (inside the battery itself). If quality isn't controlled, and contamination is introduced into the battery during manufacture, they can overheat and catch fire. This is the same issue that happened with the Sony/Dell batteries and the huge recall last year that everybody has already forgotten about.
