Apple 15-inch PowerBook G4
  Battery Exchange Program

   In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission 
(CPSC) and other international safety authorities, Apple is 
voluntarily recalling certain lithium ion rechargeable batteries that 
were sold worldwide from January 2004 through August 2004 for use 
with 15-inch PowerBook G4 (Aluminum) notebook computers. These 
batteries were manufactured by LG Chem, Ltd. of South Korea.

The affected batteries could overheat, posing a fire hazard. Apple 
received four reports of these batteries overheating. No injuries 
have been reported. Apple urges you to stop using your battery and to 
order a replacement battery immediately. If you continue to use your 
battery, do not leave it unattended and check for signs of 
overheating.

  Apple has initiated an exchange program and will provide eligible 
customers with a new replacement battery, free of charge.

No other PowerBook or iBook batteries are part of this recall.
