Thanks for the heads-up. We bought a lenovo laptop a short while ago and will look into it. I was not aware of the battery recall at all.

Lenovo ain't doing too good, are they?

They were also recently involved in, and are now being sued for, secretly installing spyware on laptops and I think also desktops.

Another Chinese tech giant that just don't get it. Sad when you know the history of the Thinkpad and the high reputation it formerly had before Lenovo acquired it.

You are all welcome. I get the emails recalls (most are for children's clothes and toys) but whenever I see one for electronics etc others might use here I try to post them here just in case..
