Sony battery recall reaches 9.6 million
This story seems as if it won’t go away. I first posted about the Sony battery recall in mid-August when I did a post dealing with battery safety.

Since then I’ve done I think 3 updates on the Sony recall. I have wondered during the time why Sony who uses their batteries in their Viao series of computers didn’t recall theirs. Well now they have. They announced that they are recalling 90,000 Viao batteries. With this recall there are now an estimated 9.6 million batteries being recalled world-wide.
Computer makers being affected include: Dell, Apple, Toshiba, Fujitsu and Sharp Corp along with Sony. I have heard there are as many as nine laptop manfacturers, but I haven’t heard who the otheres may be.
My advise would be make certain your battery isn’t in the recall.
