Toshiba joins the fun and recalls 830K lappie batts

toshiba battery

Laptop batteries are the new cigarettes, it seems, as they're in the news as being a public health risk more than anything else these days. Toshiba has joined the pigpile on Sony, recalling 830,000 of the beleaguered electronic giant's batteries. Dell, who started the whole recall craze that's sweeping the nation, recalled an additional 100,000, bringing their total up to 4.2 million. People aren't too keen on trusting Sony these days, with its batteries even being banned from some airline's flights. Combine this fiasco with the manufacturing issues and delay of its upcoming Playstation 3 console and you have a company dying for some good news. Hey, maybe the PS3 will be so heavy it'll give people some unintentional exercise. One can hope.
