“It is a serious life hazard“, says the American Consumer Product Safety Commission, and it’s hard to disagree. So far there have been 92 cases of combustion in Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 smartphones, with 26 people getting hurt in the process. Therefore the CPSC came to a conclusion that Samsung’s device must be removed from the market. Even before the CPSC’s decision, though, Samsung put the Note 7’s sells on a halt, and organized a world-wide service action for every Note 7’s user whose device was destroyed by the combustion or explosion of the device’s battery.
After an inside-company control by Samsung, it has been established that the party responsible for the Note 7’s current, dangerous, state is one of Samsung’s two suppliers.
