fujitsu04102 Fujitsu has just announced that it was recalling 287,000 Sony-made notebook batteries. That brings the total recalls so far due to flaming Sony batteries to a whopping 7.6 million units. The fiery party may get wilder, as Acer may likely join in. There are no announcements of such recalls yet from Acer, but they have been in talks with Sony regarding the battery issue much like Fujitsu did before they announced their recall. Fortunately, no Fujitsu notebooks have blown up yet.
