Sony in turn has to recover the battery recovery

The Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun released today reported that Sony may proceed to recall about 300,000 lithium-ion battery products used in its own PC products.

Thus, if the aforementioned possibility becomes true, by this time the total number of potential lithium-ion products produced by Sony is recalled by computer manufacturers worldwide. to nearly 8 million.

However, Sony has not yet announced how many of its PC products will fall into battery recall.

In parallel with the recovery of laptop batteries, Sony may have to change the revenue plan for the year. However, a Sony spokesman, Kei Sakaguchi, said his firm has yet to make a formal decision on changing the revenue plan and confirming the number of batteries to be recalled. offering only a predictable number is not certain.

The reason why the newspaper predicted that Sony will have to change its revenue plan this year is to bear the cost of assisting firms in recovering faulty battery products plus losses in the game market.

The Nihon Keizai Times forecast that Sony's revenue in fiscal year 2006 will fall by 43%.

Meanwhile, the cost of Sony's battery recovery is in danger of increasing when it is reported that Toshiba and Fujitsu are planning to demand Sony's compensation for the battery recovery. affect the business as well as brand reputation of these firms.

But now the storm of recalling potential lithium-ion battery problems may not be over yet, perhaps other companies will have to recall battery products over Sony's production in the near future. . This means Sony will have to take on new financial burdens.
