CPSC campaign 06145
Hazard
An internal failure can cause the battery to overheat and melt or char the plastic case, posing a burn and fire hazard.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the "L3" coded batteries immediately and contact HP to determine if the specific battery is one of the ones being recalled, and if it is, receive a free replacement battery. After removing the recalled battery from their notebook computer, consumers should plug in the AC adapter to power the notebook until a replacement battery arrives.
