Dell recalls defective overheating batteries

The recall involves 18 percent of Dell’s 22 million notebook computers sold during the period from April 2004 to July 2006. It comes three days before Dell is scheduled to report its fiscal second-quarter earnings.

Dell has received six reports of batteries overheating, causing damage to furniture and personal belongings, the Consumer Product Safety Commission in Washington reported. No injuries have been reported, the commission said. 

Well, that explains the burning sensation in my lap.

Whew.
