HP Canada recalling certain batteries due to fire hazard
OTTAWA — Health Canada says HP Inc. Canada is recalling certain lithium-ion batteries used in notebook computers and mobile workstations because they can overheat and cause a fire hazard.
The recall involves batteries that are not consumer replaceable and were either sold installed or separately as replacements.
Health Canada says that as of Dec. 18, 2017, HP Canada had not received any reports of incidents or injuries in Canada but there have been eight reports of overheating batteries in the United States and one reported injury.
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a similar recall.
