If you click the article's link to the apple site, you'll see the info. It's on the right-hand side of the page. Battery exchange I think it's called.

If you need to order a replacement, you may want to wait awhile; Apple's site is extremely slow

It's being flooded by people worried they are going to be killed by their laptop battery.

4-6 weeks?! fiddlesticks...I'll be back in school...let's hope it doesn't blow up in my dormroom.

"Apple has issued a recall on several models of Mac laptops because the battery can overheat and catch fire. Experts say a Mac fire is just like a PC fire, except it's more hip and condescending."

For what it's worth, I received my replacement in little over a week. Much quicker than I expected.
