PACKARD BELL VOLUNTARY SAFETY BATTERY REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
Dear valued Packard Bell Customer,

Packard Bell has discovered a potential safety issue associated with the batteries contained in certain EasyNote MX36, MX37, MX51, and MX52 model notebook computers. These batteries, which were manufactured by a third party in 2007 and subsequently supplied to Packard Bell, can potentially fail after prolonged usage. In rare instances the battery failure may pose a risk of overheating or fire. The Packard Bell model notebook computers affected by the battery recall replacement program are: EasyNote MX36, MX37, MX51 and MX52.
