Lenovo Recalls ThinkPad Notebook PC Extended-Life Batteries Due to Fire Hazard
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
If the battery in the laptop is struck forcefully on the corner, such as from a direct fall to the ground, the battery pack can overheat and pose a fire hazard to users. This is not an internal battery cell defect.
What to do
Consumers should stop using the recalled batteries and contact Lenovo for additional information and to receive a free replacement battery. Consumers should use only ThinkPad batteries obtained from either Lenovo or an authorized reseller.
