Secondly, could this have an effect of the cost of their 18650 cells, used widely in our battery packs?

It will have an impact on the image of high quality their cells have. Panasonic has good QC too:

Note these are "safe" 18650 cells and not dangerous LiPo...

You can make any lithium batteries catch fire if you have the right skill and know-how.

Fake Britain made Lithium ion batteries explode simply by heating them to 200 degrees Celsius.
