According to the WSJ, an explosion tore through the factory located in southwestern China Friday night. The explosion killed two and injured 16.

Officials didn’t have a cause for the explosion, although they have ruled out foul play.

It’s not known at this time how this will affect supplies of the iPad 2. Apple has had trouble making enough of the iPads to keep up with demand.
