I stand corrected.

After reading "The Korean Herald" [1], it does appear you're right about them considering a global recall.

"Thus far, explosions have been reported on the phones using the ITM battery pack." [1]

"Amid growing concerns among consumers, Samsung is considering recalling all the Note phones and exchanging the battery free of charge." [1]

I'm really surprised, seems like the suppliers of the batteries have some lacking quality control. This isn't something I would expect from a major competitor to Apple, usually there is ridiculously over-the-top quality control from these companies.
