Sony informed consumers this week that some counterfeit PlayStation 3 controllers could ignite or explode when used.

The company did recommend that consumers stick with its own wireless controllers, which are available from a number of reputable retail outlets.

So what? Laptop batteries from Sony explode too. Perhaps Sony should come up with a better way to spot the fakes.
