Sony conducts battery recall worldwide

Dell has announced it will withdraw 100,000 more batteries for laptops, Toshiba will recall an additional 830,000 batteries, and Sony will also urge manufacturers to quickly change batteries. Sony spokesman declined to estimate the damage they would have to pay.

Dell, the world's largest maker of personal computers, claims that the total number of faulty batteries in their laptops has reached 4.2 million. Apple previously recalled 1.8 million batteries. Yesterday, IBM and Lenovo also confirmed plans to withdraw 526,000 computer batteries.

Toshiba is rushing to handle faulty batteries in the Dynabook, Qosmio, Satellite Portege and Tecra models. Fujitsu will also recall the batteries used in their 19 laptop models around the world but have not yet announced specific numbers.

David Yang, a spokesman for Sony, explained that their batteries use an old production line, but many computer manufacturers still apply to current laptops, such as Dell recovering batteries in shipped devices. from April 2004 to July 2006.

Sony's new line has been equipped with a number of additional safety measures to reduce the risk of leaking lithium ion molecules - the cause of battery heat rise.

These recalls will become "stain" for Sony - "monument" in Japanese electronics and entertainment. Experts say it is likely that the company will have to shut down a series of manufacturing plants and cut workers. The Asahi (Japan) estimates that Sony will have to double the loss of $ 254.2 million they have given before.
