In late October Hewlett Packard announced a recall and replacement program for approximately 125,00 battery packs used in certain HP notebooks shipped between March 2004 and September 2005. These batteries pose a potential hazard to users. The recall is for the batteries only, not the notebooks themselves. For complete information, including a list of all the affected notebooks, see http://bpr.hpordercenter.com/bpr/
In late December, Dell issued a security recall for certain notebook batteries that were sold for use with some models of its Latitude, Precision, and Inspiron notebook computers. It is possible for these batteries to overheat, posing the risk of fire.
