Update from August 27, 2015: Please confirm immediately, as there is a possibility of fire

Dear Valued Customer,
We thank you for your patronage of Fujitsu products.

As certain battery packs manufactured by Panasonic Corporation and used in Fujitsu laptops may ignite and result in fire, from August 27, 2015, Fujitsu has voluntarily been recalling and replacing the battery packs that may be affected. However, since that time, there was an instance of fire occurring with a battery that had not yet been replaced.

Accordingly, to prevent further instances, we ask customers to immediately confirm if they have battery packs stated in the below “Affected Battery Packs.” For customers who are uncertain how to confirm, please contact the below listed Contact Hotline. In the case that you are in possession of an affected battery pack, please apply for a replacement as explained in “How to Apply for a Battery Replacement.”

Fujitsu deeply apologizes for the inconvenience it has caused its customers, and asks for your cooperation in the battery pack recall and replacement.
