HP Expands Recall of Batteries for HP and Compaq Notebook Computers Due to Fire and Burn Hazards

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The batteries can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled batteries, remove them from the notebook computers and contact HP for a free replacement battery. Until a replacement battery is received, consumers should use the notebook computer by plugging it into AC power only. Batteries previously identified as not affected by the June 2016 recall could be included in this expanded announcement. Consumers are urged to recheck their batteries.
