It’s not the first, and we doubt if it’s going to be the last. Sony’s batteries are a major target again as Japanese electronics maker Fujitsu Ltd. recently said it is recalling 287,000 laptop batteries that are at risk of overheating or catching fire.

Fujitsu said the recall would affect 224,000 laptops sold outside Japan across 10 models, including the popular Lifebook series. The remaining 63,000 were sold in Japan.

Fujitsu’s decision follows similar moves by other major notebook computer makers such as Dell Inc. at 4.2 million recalls, followed by Apple Computer Inc. at 1.8 million recalls. Lenovo Group Ltd. and Toshiba Corp. joined the recall last week.

Hewlett-Packard Co., the world’s second-largest PC provider behind Dell, stated it will not be issuing a recall. The company said it has reviewed its products with Sony batteries and found that the designs were not prone to the overheating issues which other companies were facing.
