The European Union has stated today that it is taking the "exploding" iPhone issues very, very seriously. EU consumer watchdog Meglena Kuneva has explained that if national authorities find out that manufacturing faults are the cause of the issue, the iPhone will face an EU-wide recall.

A resulting recall could be logistically challenging, maybe the biggest recall in history.
That would be extremely annoying, but in most cases much easier to fix, as most other cell phones have user replacable batteries. The service process would be as simple as mailing a new battery to the consumer.
Even if the same battery is found in other devices, that doesnt nesesarily mean that they are at risk, as these devices may have different cooling conditions, and different energy consumptiomtion e.t.c.
