Oil Filter causing problems? S70 1998

Hi,

I read a message warning about having a non-Volvo oil filter installed by a oil change specialty shop because they don't use some kind of spring in the filter, with the result that it "blew the rear seal" of someone's car. I'm new to Volvo's and I just took my 2-week old S70 to such a shop for an oil change. Am I at risk, and if so, how serious is this? Is this an issue to really pay attention to?

Thanks in advance!
