Fujitsu To Recall 287,000 Sony Manufactured Batteries

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese electronics maker Fujitsu Ltd. said on Wednesday it would recall 287,000 notebook PC batteries made by Sony Corp., bringing the number of Sony batteries recalled to more than 7.5 million.

Prior to the Fujitsu announcement, shares of Sony ended down 3.3 percent at a nine-month closing low of 4,450 yen. The Tokyo stock market's electrical machinery index (.IELEC.T) was down 1.27 percent.

Compounding the blow to Sony's reputation as a top-class manufacturer is a delay in the launch in Europe of its long-awaited new video game console, the PlayStation 3.

Sony said last month it would postpone the launch of the latest version of its blockbuster game machine in Europe and some other regions to March from November due to a production glitch, missing the critical Christmas shopping season.
