Matsushita Recalls up to 6000 Notebook Batteries

Batteries hit the news again with Matsushita having to recall 6000 batteries in their notebooks from April and May of 2005 sold in Japan. While this is not as large as other manufacturers, it is still large for this brand name that is not well known outside of Asia.

You will know them better by the name Panasonic which they are the parent company for.

A Matsushita spokesman confirmed to Reuters that the batteries were not made by Sony or Matsushita itself; he would not, however, identify the supplier.

No one has been injured by the batteries, as it takes special circumstances for them to overheat. If the notebook is dropped or suffers a strong impact, there’s a risk that a tiny spring can loosen, fall off on to the batteries, and cause them to overheat.
