Lenovo and IBM have announced a battery recall of Sony-made notebook batteries. "Lenovo and IBM Corporation, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and other regulatory agencies, have announced the voluntary recall of certain lithium-ion batteries manufactured by Sony Corporation. In the interest of public safety, Lenovo will offer customers free-of-charge replacement batteries for all recalled batteries." Apple, Dell, and Toshiba have all also recalled Sony batteries due to fire hazards.

Seems like they are working on a full recall.

What Sony should do now, is do a complete recall of all the batteries that might be affected and fully disclose what other manufacturers are using them.
If they don't, sooner or later they will be sued for knowing, but not doing enough.
