Bad part of the ac adaptor recall is, my system is one of the very few systems that the recall does not cover... wierd eh?

I'm still in a state of panic/shock as to what just happened. I will be researching legal options now, as my laptop warranty ended because the dell wouldn't let me renew because of a mix up, and other things that have built up (like sending it in for fan swap to have it come back not even turning it on), now this.. a laptop I'm totally terrified of even turning on.
I wonder why DELL is recalling 4.5 million power adaptors that "may overheat causing fire or electrical shock". That is an awful lot of units to replace with only seven incidents reported to them.
