Users started reporting that their computers where turning shades of orange around the palm area of their laptops soon after purchasing them, over a month or more ago. Users had trouble getting anything done because it was supposedly normal wear or could be cleaned, etc etc. So, Apple has officially (about time) recognized this as a design/production flaw and will be replacing and repairing the affected computers.

Only white Macbooks with serial numbers ranging between 4H617XXXXXXXX and 4H627XXXXXXXX will be replaced, but you will still have to take your computer to a local Apple authorized repair center or retail store for them to replace it. If there’s not one near you, then you can call this phone number (1-800-800-2775 in US) to begin the process. It sounds like Apple is going to try their best to clean your laptop, even though you’ve most likely tried all of that before on your own. However, it will be replaced, so that’s the good news.
