Toshiba joins in Sony battery recall

Things just keep getting worse for Sony over the battery bungle: Toshiba has announced a recall of nearly 350,000 Sony-produced laptop batteries.

The call-back affects Dynabook and Satellite models made between May and March - but Tosh says the recall is not because of reports of exploding or overheating, unlike previously afflicted machines from Dell and Apple.

According to reports, the problem is that the batteries simply stop working, and the BBC claims "Toshiba said the batteries would die "only in rare cases"."

Things just keep getting worse for Sony - when will the rot stop?
