Announcements like this have become so common that they've failed to get us worried/excited any more. But since we received an earful from Sony Malaysia for not being clear enough when something like this last happened the last time, here's the deal - HP, Toshiba and Dell have issued a recall [b]IN THE USA [/b]of 100,000 Sony battery packs found in laptops sold between 2004 and 2006. Of these 100,000 units, only 35,000 units are located [b]IN THE USA[/b], while the remaining 65,000 have been sold worldwide.
