You've been using Sony batteries in your HP, Dell and Toshiba notebooks.
Sony's battery woes don't seem to end. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a voluntary recall of Sony batteries sold via laptop manufacturers like HP, Dell, and Toshiba.
The recall was issued after a few reported incidents where the lithium-ion batteries overheated and caught a small fire resulting in minor property damage and injuring two people with minor burns.
There are around a 35,000 affected batteries sold in the US through HP, Dell and Toshiba, while the remaining 65,000 have been sold worldwide as separate battery packs. Sony has acknowledged the battery recall and issued a statement for the same.
"It is believed that most of these incidents were related to manufacturing line adjustments made from October 2004 to June 2005, which may have affected some battery cells produced during that period. In addition, there were some incidents that may have involved a raw material flaw."
