Let me quote & interpret what BerthaVanation said.
Re: Is the Heating of New IPad a defect or not?
Apr 17, 2012 1:34 AM (in response to BerthaVanation)
I believe this issue is bigger than any of us realizes. (Ok.)
When I went to Best Buy this morning to exchange my 64GB Verizon New iPad, I was first told that they do not have any more units to replace it (except open box units), and they also had no iPad 2's to exchange for either. (Bertha initiated an exchange. Best Buy: "Sorry, we've ran out of new iPad stocks, the new ipads we're holding on to we're 'open box' aka rejected units".)
***(Bertha ommitted one point in his 'negotiation', possibly - Bertha: "Hey, since the stocks you're holding are 'stale', just make an order and give me a new one".) This is subject to confirmation.
She then called a Manager over, and he said they cannot order any more New iPad's (except a couple of the wi-fi only units) at this time because of the number that have been returned so far because of the heat issue. (Sales lady called her manager over [...self explainatory from this point he/she made])
Not only can you no longer order them through their website, but they can not even order them using their system or even from different stores. (Bertha's attempt to get his feet out of the 'b.s.' OR, the manager's point to him/her.)
Besides Apple, Best Buy has to be one of the largest retailers of the iPads, and the fact that they are currently on lockdown, seems to indicate something is going on that Apple is not telling us about. (Hypothesis)
I think the next several weeks will be interesting ones for iPad users and potential iPad owners." (Hypothesis)

The ipad 2 is an excellent product congratulations. But what you said about Best Buy and the new ipads is not true. They have not issued a recall.
It does get heated when using processor-intensive applications just under the processor, or when plugged in.

You can read more about the author on Wikipedia, or elsewhere. But there is no question he is credible on this issue. And he does define exactly when to return your ipad for replacement.
Didn't look him up, I watched 70% of the video including the commercials. He's factual, no doubt. However he's not blanketing the issue by saying iPads out there will provide the same experience he's having; NO HEAT.
No doubt, I'd salute him for that.
Anyway, back to the point.

Where in Bertha's post talk about a large scale recall? Those are just purely just rejected iPads from dissatisfied customers. Did you read him/her wrongly?
Also, take a look at this:

That's a week later. Discounting your interpretation of Bertha. This quote is an extract from another thread on issues with the New iPad.
