Sony’s lithium-ion batteries could overheat or catch fire.

First I heard about a laptop catching on fire was on about.com when it caught fire on his lap, which was about 1 year ago.

Then around a month ago I heard that dell had to recall around 4million of their laptops because they where catching fire.

Now looking at my BBC news feeds I just found out that Fujitsu have just recalled another 287k laptops.

So in total, Sony’s batteries have affected around 10 million laptops, costing around £250 million.
