Are you serious, or trolling? Weird question to ask outright, but I wanted to save time.
Regarding the battery exploding. Yeah, I'd agree that ... no! No, I don't agree at all! First, it exploded, so there's that. A cell in the middle of a multi-cell pack has nowhere to go. Second, it invalidated the experiment; they don't know how much HF would've been released in a real world scenario where the compressed cylinder of reactive metals and gasses is not free to "rapidly disassemble" into the air.
Now, moving on to Samsung's recall. How many failed? Sure, a small fraction. Do you know if yours will fail? How could you possibly know? Wait, I had something for this... oh, yeah. Safely test each cell.
Samsung didn't have that capability, their battery vendor didn't have enough engineers for all those house calls. You don't have that capability (you seem quite cavalier about the whole endeavor, so I'm guessing there). So, yes, since they can't know without testing, they recalled them all. What do you suppose they'll do then?
Probably, get together with the vendor, and test them.
Please stop suggesting to other readers that these things are perfectly safe when you know they're not. They're not tiny little bombs waiting to go off if you sneeze near one, but anyone using untested lithium-ion cells/batteries in untested configurations without a controller on each cell should be discouraged. We don't need a new category of Darwin award winners.
