Maybe they didn't use the word explode because they haven't exploded !!

Specifically they say that the battery overheats and dislodges from the battery compartment. Haven't seen exactly where is says explode in the press release.

Where does it say this?

Its strange because when a company announces such a huge recall the first thoughts are of phones blowing up and taking off limbs. Most sensationalist journalism will try to exploit this, and it appears that this is what has been done in this case.
