SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - LG Electronics Inc. halted sales of one of its laptop computer models after a report of a battery meltdown, the company said Friday.
LG affiliate LG Chem Ltd., the manufacturer of the battery, was investigating what happened, said Jik Soo Kim, a spokesman for LG Electronics. Kim said the batteries are designed to dissolve as a safety feature to avoid a potential explosion.
The laptop is no longer produced and was sold only in South Korea, he said.
