On October 24, 2006, in Japan, a battery pack manufactured by Sony that was installed in a Fujitsu mobile computer (a Japanese market model equivalent to the Fujitsu LifeBook® model P7120 notebook PC sold in the United States) overheated and damaged the computer. Fujitsu Limited’s press release with further details in the English language have been posted at: http://www.fujitsu.com/global/ The cause is under investigation, but because the Sony battery within the LifeBook P7120 notebook PC is subject to the previously announced U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Sony Battery Recall program ( http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml07/07011.html ), customers with LifeBook P7120 notebook PCs and all other LifeBook models included in this recall are advised to continue using their Fujitsu notebook PC safely only after turning the system off, ejecting the battery, and using the AC adapter and power cord originally supplied with the LifeBook to power the system until their replacement battery is received.  Fujitsu sold or provided these batteries from June 2005 through October 2006. The recalled batteries were sold with the following Fujitsu notebook PCs: C1320D, P1510/P1510D, P7120/P7120D, Q2010, S7020/S7020D, and the T4210*.
