HP expanded their recall of lithium-ion batteries for their laptops because the batteries can overheat and are at risk of causing burns or fire, according to a recall notice posted Tuesday from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

There have been eight new reports of battery packs in the U.S. overheating, melting or charring, HP said in the notice. Those reports included one minor injury and two reports of property damage that totaled $1,100.

The batteries were also sold separately from December 2015 and December 2018 for between $50 and $90.
