Apparently the recent reports of Dell's laptops catching fire and burning down people's houses and cars were actually true! Dell has initiated one of the tech industry's largest recalls in history, announcing that 4.1 million batteries sold with their laptops between 2004 and 2006 could pose a fire hazard and should be sent back. 

So, you might want to check and make sure there aren't any Dangerous Dells nearby ;-)
