IBM Battery Recall

Lenovo and the IBM Corporation are voluntarily recalling approximately 526,000 lithium-ion batteries worldwide that were manufactured by Sony Corporation.

The batteries were sold in ThinkPad(R) notebooks or as replacement batteries between February 2005 and September 2006. Lenovo has confirmed that these batteries may be subject to overheating, posing a potential fire hazard, and is advising customers to check if they are using one of them. Lenovo will provide free replacements for all recalled batteries.
