    HP has recalled about 6million Laptop Power Cords which may overheat and pose a potential fire and burn hazard.

    The affected cords have an "LS-15" molded mark on the AC adapter end of the power cord.

    Nothing that says how HP plans to remedy this recall, though...

    ...Remedy

    Customers should immediately stop using and unplug the recalled power cords and contact Hewlett-Packard to order a free replacement. Consumers can continue to use the computer on battery power.

    (until it runs outta juice .. then they are done until the replacement cord arrives)
