My laptop could kill!

Yeah, so it looks like my iBook is part of the terrible exploding battery fiasco. What's worrying is that when I enter the serial which should be within the recall range it tells me that the number isn't valid.

A call to Apple to check this out revealed that the website is being updated! So my laptop may or may not be a killer but either way I should request a new battery. Terrible customer service and, I'm sorry to say, a pattern with Apple.
