Apparently - there was one case of one actually exploding, hence the urgent recall. The majority were distributed in the US, but there are some known to have been shipped worldwide, according to Radio 2

I've seen a couple of those too - I hadn't realised till I heard it on the radio today though.

Heres a picture for you - me on my laptop, reading the recall information, turning it upside down and trying to read the battery serial number whilst still looking at the screen :rotfl:

It wasn't on the list....:cheer:

My laptop's battery was one of the recalled ones so I just applied for another free one online :) Should be here soon hopefully!

Now I'm glad mine isn't a dell, but it's bad enough.
