HP Will Not Recall Sony Laptop Batteries

HP will not recall Sony-made batteries used in its laptops. The company believes it is safe to use those batteries because it reviewed and rejected Sony battery parts for nearly a year before buying any. Also, no overheating problems have been reported, USA Today reports according to HP spokesman Mike Hockey.

Although HP can’t say for sure, since it doesn’t have all the information from Sony, it believes the batteries, which can overheat and catch fire, were among those that did not meet its quality standards.

About 1 million to 2 million HP notebooks currently have the Sony batteries, the report says.
