I'd like to stress, we have not sold these cells. However, we did intercept them from a very popular wholesaler who i'd like to keep anonymous. I fully believe this was a mistake, and that the wholesaler in question was also duped.
We received these Friday, and within an hour they were confirmed as fake. These were not sold by us, they did not pass the first of our checks (which is a visual check). An email was sent to the wholesaler they have been confirmed fake and a recall has been issued today. I have also sent an email around the other popular battery vendors.
Please check your cells, Sony cells should not have an adhesive insulator.
I'm over the moon that the checks we have in place have finally proved useful haha!
Take care apes!
Edit - I don't know how many of these are in the UK - thousands, hundreds or none
