Makes you wonder why there haven't been even more fires...
As I was checking the manufacturers involved in Sony's recall(s), I
did see that both Sanyo and Panasonic were introducing safer Li-ion
batteries. Didn't have time to read the pages then, but the
information should lack all resistance to a Web search. :-) Also
found out that Sony is the #2 manufacturer in the world of Li-ion
cells (Sanyo is first). That didn't help them in these cases.
