Nine months after those first voluntary recalls of Sony-made notebook battery packs, Acer will recall some 27,000 notebooks that also contained those same lithium-ion batteries.
Acer, which is based in Taiwan but has a North American office, announced the recall April 25 in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The 27,000 notebooks recalled by Acer were all sold in the United States between May 2004 and November 2006, according to the CPSC.
