Apple recalls 1.8 million laptop batteries
The cells in the lithium-ion batteries in the iBook G4 and PowerBook G4 computers - the only two models affected by the recall - were produced by Sony.

Both of my batteries, the old one and the new one (just bought last month) are the right model, but wrong serial numbers. Damn. I was hoping the old one would be covered and I'd have two nice new ones. Oh well

I am not a representative of apple, nobody should sue me because their battery caught on fire.

Here's some of the info from their website, but you should check their site to be sure, in case they change the list.
