Quality checks always handled on manufacturer place Andrew. Then Nokia does only audit controls to keep the quality up. This kind of things can happen any time due to some technical problem. Good thing, Nokia accepts the problem and offer a replacement for faulty batteries.
By the way, I like your website.
