Most companies avoid the ignominy of a product liability claim by quickly recalling any products found to be faulty and, over recent years, many electrical goods manufacturers have been quick to prevent laptop battery accidents by making widespread public announcements when a laptop battery is found to be defective in some way.
It is not uncommon to turn on your TV or radio and to hear the message that Sony, Toshiba or Advent has been alerted to the fact that one of their laptop or notebook models might be powered by a faulty battery and so, in many cases, thousands of computers have been recalled so that new batteries may be fitted.
Usually, the recall is fuelled by an isolated incident of a battery getting slightly too hot for comfort or perhaps causing a power surge which may have adversely affected the workings of a PC. The product recall then becomes an exercise in accident prevention to protect the good name of the company and to stymie the chances of any damaging personal injury compensation claims which could be made after a laptop battery accident.
But in 2006, a spectacular laptop accident occurred at a conference in Japan when a Dell laptop battery caused a fire and an explosion.
It was reported at the time that the laptop had been powered by a Sony battery pack and the accident caused a global replacement programme to be instigated in September of that year as this was the second incidence of a laptop containing a Sony battery pack igniting.
In 2010, laptop battery recalls went on with Advent announcing a recall scheme and Hewlett Packard suggesting that as many as 124,000 of their units being fitted with batteries which could overheat and rupture, producing sparks which could lead to a fire.
To avoid a laptop battery accident, users are advised to monitor the heat being generated by their laptop or notebook and to switch it off at any time when the battery feels excessively hot.
