Fujitsu is recalling approximately 5,800 lithium-ion battery packs manufactured by Panasonic and used in various Fujitsu notebook computers and workstations. These batteries can overheat, creating a serious risk of fire and burns for users. One report of a battery fire has been received in Canada. The affected batteries were sold both as part of new computer systems and as individual replacement packs between July 2012 and December 2017.
The internal components of the lithium-ion battery can overheat during use or charging, which may lead to the battery casing melting or catching fire. This poses a direct risk of thermal burns to the user and fire damage to the surrounding environment.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled battery packs, power off the laptop, remove the battery and follow instructions to obtain a free replacement battery pack. Until a replacement battery pack is received, consumers should use the laptop by plugging in AC power only.
