Apple Recalls Some Verizon iPad 2s Due to Duplicate Serial Numbers

"Apple has confirmed that an "extremely small number" of iPad 2 units for Verizon have been recalled because they were accidentally shipped with identical electronic serial numbers."

Well that is embarassing isn't it? Apple was able to catch "most" of the devices with the problem but the several passed through, unknown how many exactly. It could be a pretty high number though, as in this story at All Things D they reported that one store alone sent back 100 of the units. Ouch.
