TCU Students:
As you move into the final weeks of the semester, we want to send a brief reminder of the dangers of certain laptop batteries. A battery recall has been in effect since 2006, but there is still a chance that you are using a recalled battery.
We recommend that you visit your laptop manufacturer’s website to confirm whether or not your battery is safe. You can find information about product specific recalls at the following manufacturer websites:

If you have trouble locating the manufacturer website, please search google.com for your particular laptop model to find details on your laptop battery.
