HP recommends you to verify all batteries supplied with the notebook (including those purchased as accessories or spare parts, or have been offered as compensation options of customer support). Another option is to collect serial number if you have many computers and then send to HP at the EMEABulkBatteryRecall@hp.com email address for further information.
If you are concerned, you should update the BIOS so that the computer is set to "Battery Safety Mode" and can then use its computer with a power cord without charging the battery. When the new battery is installed, the BIOS will indicate this by activating the charging function.

More information will be found in the attachments.
