Corrosive insulating paper triggered Sony"s third laptop battery recall
The Straits Times Wednesday, 20 September 2006

TOSHIBA said yesterday that it will replace 340,000 faulty laptop batteries worldwide, in the third recall in two months involving Sony-made batteries. The latest recall brings the total number of Sony batteries recalled this year to about six million worldwide.
A Sony spokesman said the batteries involved in the latest Toshiba recall suffer from a different problem, caused by the corrosive effects of the insulating paper used in the battery packs.
