Yes.

What I am saying... maybe too quietly... is that while Li-Ion is the 
superior technology, Li-Ion technology
is less forgiving than NiMH, and manufacturing errors / inferior 
products create some intolerable safety
problems. I think everyone assumed that China would recognize the 
seriousness of the problem and stop
the false labelling. The hoaxers are so good that the hoaxed cells 
cannot be distinguished from the genuine
ones.

As engineers, sometimes we have to look farther to protect our 
respective clients. This is one of those times.
