Best Buy recalls MacBook replacement batteries after reports of fire
Editor's note: The CPSC incorrectly stated that the recalled batteries are for MacBook Pros. Macworld received confirmation from Best Buy that the recalled batteries were for the discontinued black or white MacBook notebook. This story has been updated with the correction.
Best Buy has recalled about 5100 replacement batteries for Apple’s MacBook laptops, after 13 reports that the battery caught fire, a U.S. consumer safety agency said.
The ATG lithium-ion batteries can catch fire while charging, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a statement Wednesday.
The recall covers both black and white ATG lithium-ion replacement batteries for MacBook laptops. “Model number ‘MC-MBOOK13B’ is on the label of the black battery and model number ‘MC-BOOK13W’ is on the label of the white battery,” CPSC said. The ATG logo is on both batteries.
