September 12th 2006 | Laptops

The recent global recall of Sony batteries that has been reported to affect nearly 6 million owners of Dell and Apple notebook computers, will cost Sony as much as $267 million, according to a Sony China official.

The recall was put into place after several pictures of "exploding" Dell and Apple laptops surfaced on the Web. The explosions were supposedly caused by a defect in the Lithium Ion batteries made by Sony.
