There are approximately 6,400 models affected that were sold online at www.shopfujitsu.com to the U.S. and Canada from July 2012 through December 2017 for about $170 for the battery pack sold separately and between $1,100 and $2,900 for the battery packs sold with Fujitsu notebook computers and workstations.
One report of a battery fire in Canada has been received.

Until a replacement battery pack is received, consumers should use the laptop by plugging in AC power only.
