Toshiba and Dell add more batteries to the recall list
It seems as though the fears of exploding Sony batteries is
spreading to more and more notebook manufacturers and is affecting more product
lines. Today, Dell announced that it is recalling
another 100,000 notebook batteries in addition to the 4.1 million recalled last
month.
To compound matters even further, Toshiba made an
announcement today that it is recalling
another 830,000 batteries at Sony's request. And if you recall, Lenovo made
an announcement yesterday that it was recalling 526,000 batteries used
in its ThinkPad T43, T43p, T60, R51e, R52, R60, R60e, X60 and X60s models.
Here's the current tally on the "Total Recall" of Sony-manufactured batteries:
Dell: 4.2 million
Apple: 1.8 million
Toshiba: 1.1 million (340,000 batteries were already recalled earlier this month)
IBM/Lenovo: 526,000
Matsusita/Panasonic: 6,000
We're sure this isn't going to be the last that we hear of
Sony battery recalls. The next recall is just another explosion away.
