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.
