Hitachi Issues Recall for Sony Batteries
Hitachi Ltd. said on Friday that it is joining the growing list of mobile computer manufacturers who are issuing recalls on batteries manufactured by Sony Corp..
The Japan-based firm will recall about 16,000 batteries used in its laptops.
Starting in August with Dell Computer, a number of manufacturers have issued similar recalls for Sony batteries. A defect may allow microscopic particles to short-circuit the battery, causing the battery to overheat, and in rare-occasions explode. No injuries have been reported.
Apple Computer, Lenovo, Toshiba, and Fujitsu have all issued recalls.
