 "Lenovo Laptop Catches Fire at LA Airport")
Lenovo laptops are the next in line to be considered a fire hazard, after a recent mishap at LA Airport put them in the spotlight. According to eyewitnesses, a Lenovo laptop started to emit smoke at LA International Airport and eventually caught fire, causing panic among passengers last weekend.
Lenovo Group Ltd investigated the incident and confirmed that the product was equipped with Sony battery technology, which have already been rendered unsafe by Dell Inc and Apple Computers. The two companies had, in the past few weeks, recalled 4.1 million lithium-ion notebook batteries 1.8 million notebook batteries respectively. However, Lenovo spokesman Ray Gorman said, “We expect to know a lot more in the next few days. To date, we’ve still not seen any unusual patterns or problems with our notebook. Extreme cases of overheating are very rare.”
More recently, Virgin Airlines joined Quantas and Korean Air in banning Dell and Apple laptops onboard, because both use Sony made batteries, which have been labeled a fire hazard.
