Toshiba recalls 100,000 batteries that can melt your laptop

Toshiba is recalling faulty laptop batteries that are too hot to handle.

The lithium-ion battery packs, which are made by Panasonic, can overheat, posing burn and fire hazards to consumers, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday.

Toshiba received four reports of the battery packs overheating and melting, though the CPSC said no injuries have been reported.

Toshiba, which first announced the recall in January, said it was recalling the batteries in certain Toshiba Notebook computers sold since June 2011. The Japanese manufacturer said it would replace them for free.
