Dell, Apple, and IBM laptops have been catching fire, creating new forms of airport entertainment and providing golden material for bloggers worldwide. Today, we move beyond the Flammable Three, thanks to Toshiba. The company is recalling 340,000 laptop batteries.

The batteries are manufactured by (you guessed it) Sony.

Get a new replacement battery, free. Or prepare to toast your marshmallows, Toshiba style.
