6,000 Panasonic Laptops Recalled

88 views

Out of concern that the batteries might combust, Panasonic announced a recall of Japanese models of CF-W4G Let's Note W4 laptop sold between April and May 2005.

According to Gizmodo, they "will only malfunction if you smash it on a table...and...a spring in the battery latch [punctures] the battery."

What a concept, recall the batteries before they explode in users hands.

One is reminded of Ed Norton's portion of dialog regarding recalls:

If A = The number of people injured who might sue
and B = The price of the recall

If A

Doth panasonic buck the trend?

something_amazing, I'm pretty sure you meant that A=The number of people who might sue * the average cost of a settlement.
