The Highlander Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Toshiba Issues Third Sony Battery Recall As if consumers haven't heard enough on the subject, Toshiba on Friday issued its third recall related to malfunctioning Sony batteries that could overheat and potentially explode. This time around, only 1,400 batteries are affected for the company's Satellite A100, Satellite A105 and Terca A7 laptop models. According to an advisory from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, "Consumers should stop using the recalled batteries and contact Toshiba to receive a free replacement battery." In the meantime, the laptops can be used safely without the battery when plugged in. More information is available from Toshiba's Web site.

gi7omy Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 If that does explode - can you have Toshiba in court for 'assault by battery'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ml Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Oh, good grief. I just bought a Toshiba laptop for the teenager who's getting ready to go to college. Guess I ought to see what kind of battery is in it. Hopefully they've got the problem solved by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
