11:58 pm | Anton Shilov

HP is recalling about 15 700 HP and Compaq notebook computer batteries worldwide for a burn and fire hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Thursday.

The recall is for lithium ion rechargeable batteries manufactured in early January 2005 and used with various HP and Compaq notebook computers. The affected batteries have a bar code label starting with L3, according to Reuters. The computers that may contain a recalled battery include the model series: dv1xxx and ze2xxx in the HP Pavilion Family, nx48xx in the HP Compaq Family, and V2xxx and M2xxx in the Compaq Presario Family, according to the CPSC.

The batteries were made in China, and the computers were sold in the United States at retail and online stores from January 2005 through December 2005 for between $1000 and $3000.

Consumers can get additional information by calling HP, or visiting the HP battery replacement program web-site.
