Today 100,000 Sanyo laptop batteries were recalled by Lenovo Inc. These batteries can get about as hot as a sports illustrated photo shoot except with a lot more “ow, the burning” and less “ow, my monogamy”. The recall is definitely not the best thing that could happen to the 3rd largest computer manufacturer as it tries to gain ground on it’s larger competitors.

The recall is a result of 4 cases of overheating, one of which involved a user getting “minor eye irritation”. Try putting those two together because I have no idea how that happened. Either way if you’ve got a Lenovo laptop and could use a spiffy new battery or just fear for your retinas feel free to head on over to the recall website for affected models and instructionson how to get a replacement.
