Table of contents:

Fujitsu has just issued a massive statement for some of its laptop models, which are due to be recalled. As with most withdrawals, this one is related to some safety precautions.
More than half a dozen Fujitsu laptops are at risk for users
The recall has something to do with battery packs. CELSIUS H720, LIFEBOOK E752, E733, E743, E753, P703, P702, P772, S710, S752, S762, T732, T734, and T902 laptop battery packs appear to pose a potential hazard to the laptop and to users.
More specifically, batteries with serial numbers CP556150-03, CP579060-01, and CP629458-03 can overheat, causing a fire in the notebook and a potential danger to users. This is similar to what Lenovo had to do with its ThinkPad X1 Carbon.
Where can I see the product and serial numbers?
Just take a look at the white label on the battery, as this is where you will find this information. However, it is worth noting that there has only been one incident in which the battery has caught fire, Fujitsu herself reported.
The Japanese company has sold 5, 800 units in the United States and 606 units in Canada, we do not know the figure internationally. However, prevention is better than cure, if you have some of these laptops, it is better to remove the battery and contact Fujitsu to provide you with a new battery at no charge.
