Sanyo, Lenovo discuss laptop battery recall costs
By
Japanese electronics company Sanyo Electric and computer vendor Lenovo Group are discussing how to pay for the recall of over 200,000 laptop PC batteries, and may end up sharing the burden.
The recall is unrelated to the manufacturing problem that left metal shards inside battery cells made by Sony and caused some to overheat and catch fire. Sony’s troubles could lead to the recall of as many as 9.6 million batteries and cost the company an estimated 51.2 billion ($433.5 million). Oiwa declined to comment on how much the latest recall might cost Sanyo or Lenovo.
