NOTICE
Recalled Laptop Computer Batteries
On August 25, 2006, we approved the mailing of
recalled laptop batteries by consumers. Since that time
several companies have announced recalls, and we
granted similar approvals. Please note the following
information.
Our current policy allows laptop computer batteries in
the mail only when postage and packaging is provided by
the manufacturer or the manufacturer's mailing agent in
one of the following ways:
• When a consumer uses the manufacturer's packaging with a Parcel Return Service label.
• When a consumer uses the manufacturer's packaging with a Merchandise Return Service label.
• When a manufacturer uses Parcel Post® service.
Mailers may include only one battery in each box, and
must mail it in the container provided by the manufacturer
(or its agent) using surface transportation. Each box must
be clearly marked either "Consumer Commodity ORM-D -
Surface Mail Only" or "Surface Mail Only" on the address
side.
The batteries may be mailed only where surface transportation is assured. Postage must be prepaid by the
manufacturer or its agent.
Postal ServiceTM employees should accept these batteries for mailing when properly prepared as described above.
Please direct any questions to the office of Mailing Standards at 202-268-7261.
