Dell has identified a potential issue associated with certain batteries sold with Dell Latitude™, Inspiron™, XPS™ and Dell Precision Mobile Workstation™ notebook computers. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and other regulatory agencies, Dell is voluntarily recalling certain Dell-branded batteries with cells manufactured by Sony and offering free replacements for these batteries. Under rare conditions, it is possible for these batteries to overheat, which could pose a risk of fire.Affected Dell users in Singapore can call 1-800-394-7439.
Potentially affected batteries were sold with the following models of Dell notebook computers or separately as secondary batteries:

Dell is in a lot of trouble. Consumer confidence in their products will be super low now.
Dell suxz!
I was watching the news yesterday and they say that a man's truck blew up because of his Dell notebook.
These Dells are hazardous man.
the dell burst into flames and then ignite the ammunition at the back of his truck.
All exploding Dells should be banned in flights too.
dell + ammunition + truck = NOT A GOOD IDEA!
