More batteries recalled

Japanese electronics makers Sharp and Fujitsu announced plans to recall laptop batteries made by Sony Corp., adding to an already massive global recall of the batteries that are at risk of overheating and catching fire.

Sharp Corp. said it was recalling 28,000 Sony-made battery packs for seven laptop models, all sold for domestic Japanese use.

Another electronics maker, Fujitsu, also said that it was recalling more laptop batteries made by Sony following an initial recall earlier this month. Fujitsu recalled 51,000 batteries for 11 models, including nine that were also sold outside Japan.
