Sony knew of faults in PC batteries
Ann/ The Daily Yomiuri
Sony Corp learned in December that a Dell Inc notebook computer fitted with one of its batteries had caught fire, but although it checked that type of battery it did not examine batteries in other makers' notebooks and did not check the hardware of Dell PCs, it was learned Monday .However, because more fires caused by PCs with Sony batteries installed have been reported, Sony has been forced to implement a large-scale recall of its batteries since mid-August. It is claimed that if Sony had addressed the faults with its batteries earlier, it could have avoided the major recall, indicating the company's management has been lax.
