    Dear Dell Customer,

    In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Dell is voluntarily recalling and offering free replacements for certain notebook batteries that were sold for use with some models of Dell Latitude TM, Dell Precision TM and Dell Inspiron TM notebook computers. It is possible for these batteries to overheat, which could pose a risk of fire.

    Potentially affected batteries were sold with the following models of Dell notebook computers or separately as secondary batteries:
    Latitude D410, D505, D510, D600, D610, D800, D810
    Inspiron 510M, 600M, 6000, 8600, 9200, 9300, XPS Gen 2
    Precision M20, M70

    well i guess mine is safe...I bought mine from another vendor, so i don't have the sticker to tell :p

    but its not the right model number anyways. Just in case anyone else comes up with this problem, I believe Dell will only replace batteries that have the sticker on them.
