Some companies just can’t catch a break. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission is recalling about 35,000 laptop batteries from Sony, after several reports of fires. Nineteen consumers have reported the Sony laptop battery overheating; of that group, 17 reported flames, and two suffered minor burns. The recalled batteries are shipped in some
Hewlett-Packard, Toshiba and Dell notebooks. The recall should only further damage Sony’s reputation as a reliable battery manufacturer. In 2006 the company recalled 9.6 million laptops after a problem with exploding VGP-BPS8 batteries. Also, just last month, Sony issued a recall for 438,000 laptops Sony VGP-BPS8 battery worldwide, after 15 reports of overheating and one burn hazard. Think your battery may be affected?
