The product, in the report: Dell Lithium Ion laptop batteries.
Numerous reports of Dell 73XX, 55XX and numerous other model numbers for laptop batteries have swollen to a point of looking as if they are ready to explode. I called Dell and they are not concerned about the Li-Ion batteries exploding and the only thing they do is offer a replacement. I’ve got photos of these batteries expanding the laptop casing around the CD burner separating due to the expansion of the battery. I’m in the Occupational Safety field and am concerned that if we take these laptops on aircraft or any other public transportation, there may be a catastrophic event. I’m shocked that Dell hasn’t self-reported this to CPSC yet as there are hundreds, maybe thousands of these computers in our Army Medical Command. Our director of IT services is the one who brought this up to me and is also very concerned. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
