U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says some Toshiba laptop batteries pose a fire hazard from overheating. Approximately 1,400 portable computers are affected by the recall. The batteries are a subset of a recall issued by Toshiba less than four weeks ago that wasnt publicized by the CSPC. Toshiba has posted a Windows utility that sniffs out recalled batteries; it can be downloaded from the BatteryCheck link at the bottom of this page. In 2006, Toshiba recalled more than 1 million battery packs.”]
