HP has announced a recall on 15,700 batteries from the Pavilion, Compaq & Compaq Presario line of notebooks. HP has set up a site here to help you determine if your note book is apart of this massive recall.

These models may include lithium ion rechargeable batteries with a manufacture date of January 2005, whose bar code label includes the prefix L3. These systems were reportedly sold by HP throughout that year. HP, which is cooperating with the CPSC, reported at least one burn injury and eleven cases of property damage, as a result of overheating batteries that can melt or burn their plastic cases.
