Apple is recalling 1.8 million lithium-ion batteries for its iBook and PowerBook notebook PCs. The batteries could overheat and pose a fire hazard to consumers, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says. Apple has counted nine reports of overheating, including two instances that caused minor burns from handling the hot computers. The affected batteries were built in Sony plants in Japan, Taiwan and China, then sold by Apple between October 2003 and August 2006, both in new computers and as replacements.”]
