SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Dell <DELL.O> said on Monday it would recall
4.1 million notebook computer batteries because they could
overheat and catch fire, in the biggest recall in the 22-year history of the world's largest personal computer maker.
Dell blamed the voluntary recall, issued with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, on the lithium-ion batteries made by Sony Corp. <6758.T> unit Sony Energy Devices Corp., which Dell said could in rare cases produce smoke and catch fire.
The batteries are also used by other computer makers, including Apple Computer Inc. <AAPL.O>, which said it was looking into the issue. Hewlett-Packard Co. <HPQ.N> said its notebooks were not affected by the recall.
No injuries have been tied to the defect involving the Dell-branded batteries, Dell said. The company has received six reports of batteries overheating, causing damage to furniture and personal belongings, the safety commission said.
Dell spokesman Jess Blackburn said a battery of the type involved the recall was in a Dell laptop that erupted in flames in Osaka, Japan, recently. The incident was captured in photographs sent across the Internet. There has also been a number of recent reports of flaming Dell notebooks.
The recall comes as Dell tries to refresh its image with a marketing campaign to demonstrate improvements in customer service after the company was hit with complaints of inferior after-sales service. Dell is investing about $100 million this year and hiring 2,000 people in the improvement efforts.
The company also has taken a beating on Wall Street, with its stock falling 47 percent over the past 12 months while rival Hewlett-Packard's stock surged 37 percent. Dell's growth has slowed amid tougher competition.
Dell's image now hinges on how the company manages the recall, said Roger Kay, president of market researcher Endpoint Technologies Associates.
