Panasonic Recalls 6,000 Notebook Batteries

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. said Tuesday it has begun recalling 6,000 lithium-ion batteries used in Panasonic-brand notebook computers on concerns they might overheat, Dow Jones Newswires reported.

The batteries were not made by Sony Corp., whose faulty batteries were involved in huge recalls by Dell Inc. and Apple Computer Inc. last month, according to the report.

A Matsushita spokesman declined to specify the maker, according to the Dow Jones report.
