Another manufacture and again the issue of batteries

HP is expanding its recall of laptop batteries for notebooks under its brand and Compaq because of potential burn and fire hazards.

HP is recalling an additional 101,000 lithium-ion batteries used in laptops after recalling 41,000 last year. The batteries are being scrapped because they have the potential to cause fires. The recall involves lithium-ion batteries found in HP notebooks shipped between March 2013 and October of last year. The batteries work with laptop computers including HP, Compaq, HP ProBook, HP ENVY, Compaq Presario, and HP Pavilion.
