More laptop batteries made by Sony are recalled.
Toshiba has joined Dell and Apple Computers in a recall of batteries made by Sony. They have recalled 340,000 batteries.
Unlike the batteries in the Dell and Apple laptops that could cause injury due to possible fires caused by overheated lithuim/Ion batteries, the batteries recalled by Toshiba will sometimes run out of power. So far there has been no reported injuries from these batteries, other than a possible loss report.
Toshiba reports that the recall affected 100,000 laptop batteries in the US, 75,000 in Japan and the rest scattered throughout the world.
The Dell recall was for 4.1 million and Apple for 1.8 million worldwide.
