Sony recalls more laptop batteries

Upon receiving 19 reports of battery-related fires, the US CPSC is recalling an additional 35,000 Sony-made batteries in select laptop models. This move comes two years after a 9.6 million battery recall and just on the heels of an October recall of 438,000 notebooks.
