Why it was recalled

Panasonic has issued a Mandatory Product Safety Notice, indicating a possibility of battery ignition (fire) in CF-C2 "Toughbook" laptops. Since Konica Minolta uses this laptop in some of its product configurations, it notified its customers to utilize a BIOS Utility for the laptops to minimize the risk of an incident while Panasonic develops a final solution.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
