As is the case with the Dell
batteries recalled, Apple’s notebook
batteries were also manufactured
by Sony. The recall doesn't affect the newer Intel-based
notebooks, but
does include the 12" iBook G4, 12" PowerBook G4 and 15"
PowerBook G4. Apple cites nine reports of batteries overheating and has
noted
that it has received two reports of minor burns and reports of property
damage
due to the faulty batteries.

"After serial number verification, a new battery will be shipped to you, free of charge. When you receive the replacement battery, please use the same shipping packaging and included prepaid shipping label to return the recalled battery to Apple."
