BBC NEWS | Business | Toshiba recalls 340,000 batteries — Will this ever end?
Toshiba is to replace about 340,000 laptop computer batteries worldwide, the third recall of faulty batteries made by Sony since mid-August.
The batteries, used in Toshiba’s Dynabook and Dynabook Satellite laptops made between March and May of this year, could lose all their power.
However, unlike Dell and Apple last month, Toshiba said there was no risk of the faulty batteries catching fire.

Oh no! Not Dvorak’s precious Toshiba!
When I listened to TWiT I was thinking, “he shouldn’t tempt fate.” Now, here we are.
Jinx!
So what?
Please folks, leave these sorts of items for the trade news. What’s so “uncensorable” about this?
Where’s the controversy?
ha ha!
“Toshiba said there was no risk of the faulty batteries catching fire.”
BS
Any rechargeable battery could catch fire for no apparent reason, it is just that the Dell/Apple ones were more likely to go boom because of manufacturing defects.
Battery recall madness continues.
“the third recall of faulty batteries made by Sony”
It seems like their whole equipment line is faulty except for, maybe, professional cameras and TVs. I wouldn’t put my money on their Blu-ray.
Clever of Toshiba – another strike against Sony (a competitor in quite a few arenas), and they say “don’t worry, OURS won’t explode, just drain without warning”
“another strike against Sony”
Karma is a biatch and Sony has an ass full of it. You gotta love it.
