Highlights from the Houston Chronicle, Wednesday, August 16, 2006:
1) Dell will recall 4.1 million laptop batteries made by Sony.
2) This recall is the largest ever in the consumer-electronics industry.
3) The expenses probably will be split evenly between Dell and Sony.
4) Sony said the problem appeared to be related to the combination of the
battery and the charger used by Dell. Experts said the problem appears to
stem from flaws in the production of the laptop batteries. Tiny shards of
metal were loose in the cells which could cause short-circuits.
5) Cost estimates range from $25-$100 per battery. Some are out of
production. $20-$35 for round-trip shipping and disposal of the old
battery. Plus about $2.50 per battery to broadcast the recall.
