It is now history that the massive 4 million batteries Dell recall was soon followed by a 1.8 million batteries Apple recall. yet Sony still did not act to issue a worldwide recall of its suspect batteries.

Only after a serious incident at LA International Airport caused a Lenovo-IBM Thinkpad notebook to burst into flames as a passenger was boarding a flight, after which Lenovo issued a 526,000 batteries recall, has Sony sprung into action and issued a worldwide recall of its suspect batteries.

Sony is the second largest manufacturer of Lithium Ion batteries for notebook computers in the world. The global recall is going to have a serious effect on its bottom line over the next year and has seriously damaged the company's reputation in the technology space.

The Japanese electronics giant is now going through one of the darkest periods in its corporate history. The good news is that the company is not likely to go bankrupt so there is only one way to go from here.{moscomment}
