Looks like this is a very bad year for sony. Not only did Dell and Apple have to recall sony batteries that they used but now Toshiba are having to do the same:-

Toshiba said it would recall 830,000 laptop computer batteries made by Sony as part of Sony's newly launched global replacement program.

Sony started the program in the wake of yet another recall on Thursday by notebook PC makers of potentially faulty Sony-made batteries.

It must be over 6 million batteries that have had to be recalled in total (4.1 million of them were by dell)
