HP recalls another 15,000 laptop batteries
HP IS ONCE AGAIN blazing into the headlines with the firm embarrassingly having to recall thousands more laptop batteries which could spontaneously combust at any given moment.
A Chinese government website said the world's biggest computer maker would have to recall 15,000 laptop batteries distributed throughout China, owing to dangers they might overheat and explode into flames. HP Pavilion, Compaq Presario and HP Compaq laptop users are advised to check the website if they bought their machines in China between late 2007 and early 2008.
The announcement comes just a short while after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) made HP recall about 70,000 laptop batteries, also for fear of them dying a fiery death.
But the only things we see burning at the moment are HP's shamed cheeks. µ

Alright, before I get started on my arguement, yes HP screwed up.
BUT, at least they admit it and they're taking the proper steps to compensate those with defects and replacing them before more of them fail. It's good to see a company still reaching out to the customer and not turning their backs on them. (Charlie help me out) Think nVidia folks, ya there are die-hard fanbois and normal consumers that don't know any better, but besides the core-216 incident, where's the recalls from them?
Bah, props to HP for fessing up and making things right.
