Dell laptops recall

Some critics are saying, "It's about time." Dell is recalling more than 4 million laptop batteries in "the largest electronics-related recall involving the Consumer Products Safety Commission," CBS News reports. The batteries, which were made by Sony, are being recalled because they can burst into flame. Affected laptops include "Dell's Latitude, Inspiron, XPS and precision mobile workstation notebooks," according to CBS, but it's a good idea not to leave any laptop for long periods of time on upholstered chairs and other places where they can overheat. The New York Times printed a photo of a fairly extreme example of what can happen. For recall details, go to DellBatteryProgram.com.
