Sony Laptop Batteries Still Going BOOM In USA

Announcements like this have become so common that they've failed to get us worried/excited any more. But since we received an earful from Sony Malaysia for not being clear enough when something like this last happened the last time, here's the deal - HP, Toshiba and Dell have issued a recall IN THE USA of 100,000 Sony battery packs found in laptops sold between 2004 and 2006. Of these 100,000 units, only 35,000 units are located IN THE USA, while the remaining 65,000 have been sold worldwide.
If you indeed do live IN THE USA, you might want to check out the US Consumer Product Safety Commission website to find out if your battery is prone to going boom.
