Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. said Tuesday it has started recalling up to 6,000 lithium-ion battery packs used in its Panasonic brand notebook PCs as they may overheat and damage the laptops.
If this continues, pretty soon, airlines will be banning all laptops on all flights. Korean Airlines just announced that all Dell and Apple laptops must have their batteries removed and surrendered to the airline staff. You can only pick it up once you disembark.
