RSSToshiba Issues Third Sony Battery Recall
by BetaNews Staff
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.

Lets see if Betanews report the Noka/Panasonic battery recall..
It affects 45 million Nokia mobile phones. Not the 1,400 laptops this news article affects.
My guess, because it's not Sony, the item gets ignored by BetaRumours.

This is getting ridiculous. Let's just recall every product ever made by Sony and be done with it.
