| SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (SANYO) is the world’s largest producer
of rechargeable batteries, and is a battery pack supplier to Lenovo
for its notebook PCs. Lenovo, in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission, today announced the voluntary recall of
approximately 205,000 battery packs, specifically a 9-cell Lithium-ion
extended-life battery pack, as five incidents have been reported to-date.
The incidents were not triggered by the battery cells themselves.
While the pack fully satisfied specifications and internal testing
standards, these incidents occurred due to a strong external impact
to the battery pack of a specific notebook PC model from a certain
angle.
SANYO has been fully committed to providing support to Lenovo's
recall initiative, working together with Lenovo, and putting the
first priority on consumer safety. SANYO already has measures in
place to support this initiative. SANYO has been enjoying a fruitful
partnership with Lenovo and has an excellent track record of supplying
quality products. SANYO and Lenovo will continue to work closely
to maintain the highest product quality.
