I just ran a search on Wikipedia for "Powerbook" and found the paragraph below:<br><br>== Product recall of PowerBook G4 units by Consumer Product Safety Commission ==<br><br>On May 20, 2005, the Consumer Product Safety Commission ordered a recall of some Apple PowerBook G4 batteries. The official CPSC recall notice states that an internal short can cause the battery cells to overheat, posing a fire hazard to consumers. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. The defective batteries can be returned to Apple for replacement. Approximately 128,000 defective units were sold.Gordon ChoiTue, 30 Jan 2007 11:53:26 -0000
