Dell Recalls Laptop Batteries
About 35,000 Latitude, Precision, Inspiron, and XPS models pose fire risk,
vendor says.
Dell and the Consumer Products Safety Commission have announced a recall of
about 35,000 notebook batteries that could potentially pose a fire risk.
The recall affects certain Dell notebooks sold between October 5, 2004, and
October 13, 2005. Customers who purchased the following models are advised
to visit a Dell Web site with information about the affected models.
Users who may need a new battery are those using Dell Latitude models D410,
D505, D510, D600, D610, D800, and D810; Inspiron models 510M, 600M, 6000,
8600, 9200, and 9300; the XPS Generation 2 notebook; and Precision M20 and
M70 mobile workstations. The batteries were also sold separately and
provided as part of service replacements, Dell said.
Customers can also call 1-866-342-0011 toll free to determine whether their
notebooks have the affected batteries. Users should have the identification
number stamped on the back of the battery written down before they call or
visit Dell's site, the company said.
