Samsung 7 Note

Post by Royal » Sat Sep 10, 2016 1:37 am



The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Samsung are urging owners of Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 to stop using their phones while they work to formalize how a recall will work.

The warning comes a week after Samsung (SSNLF) announced a voluntary recall of 2.5 million phones worldwide because of a battery problem believed to affect 0.1% of all devices. Some customers reported that their Note 7s caught fire.

A government recall would outlaw the selling of the phone. In its statement, the agency asked owners of the Note 7 "to power them down and stop charging or using the device" in the meantime.

Details on an official recall will come "as soon as possible," the agency said.

Tim Baxter, president of Samsung Electronics America, said the company is collaborating with CPSC and its carrier partners to ensure all Note 7 users are alerted.

Communicating this to every Note 7 customer is turning into a challenge, as a few days after the recall a Note 7 apparently burned down a customer's Jeep.

If you're shopping for a Galaxy Note 7, Samsung has announced a new bar code label for the box that will let you know your new device is not explosive. The new packaging is shown above, which Samsung says has "clear identifiers on the box; a small black square on the white bar code label along with a white sticker with a blue letter ‘S’."

Any bets the black market has just ordered million dots with a blue "S".

The market will also buy your phone box so don't just throw it out.
