In co-operation with the USA Consumer Product Safety Commission, Dell is
voluntarily recalling certain batteries that were sold for use with some
models of Dell Inspiron notebook computers. These batteries are subject
to overcharge, potentially causing them to overheat, release smoke and
possibly catch fire. Only the described batteries are part of the recall
and not the notebook computers themselves.
The recalled batteries were sold with the Inspiron 5000 series notebook
computers, comprising both the Inspiron 5000 and the Inspiron 5000e
models (see bottom of computer). The batteries were also sold
separately - including in response to service calls - for use with
Inspiron 5000 series notebook computers.
The systems and/or batteries were shipped to customers between 7th
January 2000 and 21st March 2001.
In the UK, telephone 0870 010 0554.
