Toshiba's turn to recall laptop batteries - but 'no safety risks'
Quote:
After the massive laptop-battery recalls undertaken by Dell and Apple, the recall announced by Toshiba is something of a minnow - if reports on the web (possibly based on other reports on the web) are correct. The baltimoresun site is one of many saying that 340,000 batteries will be recalled, though Toshiba's own recall page gives no mention of numbers.
Toshiba specifically says that the affected batteries "do not overheat or pose any safety related issue or concern". Significantly, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission appears not be involved in the recall, in contrast with the "voluntary" recalls undertaken by Dell and Apple.
