As far as I can tell this is limited to the US and only affects AT&T customers who made an insurance claim for a refurbished cell phone that was then supplied by "FedEx Supply Chain" (?)...

US CPSC Notice:

I'm sure there are more reliable and in-depth news sources that this but it's where I first read about it ;)...

10,500 potential counterfeit batteries may not seem a huge number on a global scale but how the hell they got into the supply chain of companies such as FedEx and/or AT&T with all their quality checks etc almost beggars belief.

Disclaimer: I own a Note 4 and recently replaced the battery, bought directly from Samsung because unlike my previous non-Note phones I simply don't trust non-OEM batteries in any Galaxy Note phone.
