Hazard

An internal short can cause the battery cells to overheat and melt or char the plastic case, posing a burn and fire hazard.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the recalled batteries immediately and contact HP to arrange for a free replacement battery, by visiting the Battery Replacement program Web site or by calling HP. After removing the recalled battery for their notebook computer, consumers should plug in the AC adapter to power the notebook until a replacement battery arrives.
