A few weeks ago Engadget reported that HP was recalling nearly 70,000 batteries due to fire concerns.
The list of batteries is below.
Now it looks as though there are another 15,000 or so batteries being added to the list. These batteries were all sold in China, and thus far there are no reports of "flames / fire" resulting forom the batteries included in this round.
