"Apple Computer is recalling 1.8 million batteries that use Sony's 
battery cell technology, it announced Thursday.

including two cases in which users reported minor burns and property 
damage. However, it says no serious injuries have been reported.

largest recall in the history of the consumer electronics industry.
