Yes, three of them out of the thousands sold. With the same battery technology that causes Nokia cell phones, Sony and Apple laptops, and many other devices to catch fire.

It's also unreported as to whether the ones that caught fire had been damaged. ANY LiIon cell that gets damaged can catch fire, no matter who built it. Hell, they can EXPLODE. That's what you get with high energy densities, no avoiding it.
