Apple Recalls 1.8 million batteries

Apple Recalls 1.8 million batteries

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commision, Apple is recalling 1.8 million batteries. It affects 1.1 million iBooks and Powerbooks sold between October 2003 and August 2006 in the US, and 700K outside it, and may “pose a fire hazard”.

The full list of products affected, who to call, and what to do, read the CPSC link above, or call Apple at (800) 275-2273. If your notebook is on fire, put it out, then call Apple. If you switched over from a Dell because you ran out of marshmallows, or because you had some marshmallows left over after the last Dell caught fire, and wanted a PC to match it, your luck stinks, go buy an HP

Wow, Apple might drop like a fly along with Dell.

    The same Sony cells are also used in notebooks by Dell and Lenovo.

Howdy, Stranger!
