Lenovo and IBM Announce Recall of ThinkPad Notebook Computer Batteries Due to
Fire Hazard

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in
cooperation with the firms named below, today announced a voluntary recall of
the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products
immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Name of Product: Rechargeable, lithium-ion batteries used in ThinkPad
notebook computers

Units: About 168,500 battery packs (an additional 357,500 battery packs were
sold worldwide).

Battery Distributor: Lenovo (United States) Inc., of Research Triangle Park,
N.C. and International Business Machines Corp., of Armonk, N.Y.

Battery Manufacturer: Sony Energy Devices Corp., of Japan

Hazard: These lithium-ion batteries can cause overheating, posing a fire
hazard to consumers.

Incidents/Injuries: Lenovo has received one confirmed report of a battery
overheating and causing a fire that damaged the notebook computer. The incident,
which occurred within an airport terminal as the user was boarding an airplane,
caused enough smoking and sparking that a fire extinguisher was used to put it
out. There was minor property damage and no injuries were reported.

Description: The recalled lithium-ion batteries were sold with or sold
separately to be used with the following ThinkPad notebook computers: T Series
(T43, T43p, T60); R Series (R51e, R52, R60, R60e); and X Series (X60, X60s). The
recalled batteries have the following part or model numbers, which can be found
on the battery label:

Part/model number:

ASM P/N FRU P/N

92P1072 92P1073

92P1088 92P1089

92P1142 92P1141

92P1170 92P1169 or 93P5028

92P1174 92P1173 or 93P5030

Sold Through: Lenovo and IBM’s Web sites, telephone and direct sales, and
Lenovo and IBM authorized distributors between February 2005 and September 2006
as an accessory for between $150 and $180 and as part of a ThinkPad notebook
computer for between $750 and $3500.

Manufactured in: Japan and China

Remedy: Consumers should stop using the recalled batteries immediately and
contact Lenovo to receive a replacement battery, free-of-charge. Until a
replacement battery arrives, consumers can continue to use their computer by
turning off the system, removing the battery, and plugging in the AC adapter and
power cord. Consumers should use only genuine ThinkPad batteries obtained from
either Lenovo or an authorized reseller.

Consumer Contact: Customers should contact Lenovo at (800) 426-7378 anytime
or log on to

www.lenovo.com/batteryprogram

to determine if the battery is part of the recall and to receive a replacement
battery.
