Toshiba has recalled more defective laptop batteries, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said last week, the latest move in a long-running problem with lithium-ion batteries made by Sony.
According to a warning from the CPSC, batteries in some of Toshiba’s Satellite A100, Satellite A105 and Tecra A7 notebooks built between January and April 2006 pose a fire hazard from overheating. Approximately 1,400 portable computers are affected by the recall, said the CPSC.
