Great Battery Recall, or ten thousand Galaxy Note 4 batteries recalled in the United States

Great Battery Recall, or ten thousand Galaxy Note 4 batteries recalled in the United States

This one hurts much less than the infamous Galaxy Note 7 recall, but it is still a dent in Samsung’s reputation. Some time ago, Samsung refurbished a large number of Galaxy Note 4 phones, which were then sold in the US via the FedEx Supply Chain. Unfortunately, some of these phones started to malfunction soon after being sold. Malfunctions included batteries overheating, causing danger of a meltdown or explosion. Upon inspection, it turned out that the batteries in these phones were counterfeit. Ouch… luckily, no major accident was reported so far. It is said that only a fraction of the batteries were counterfeit, but that did not stop Samsung from, quite logically, recalling the whole batch of possibly faulty Note 4’s.

US’ owners of refurbished Galaxy Note 4 will soon be sent e-mails. They will be advised to power down their phones and refrain from using them until a free replacement battery will be sent to them, naturally free of charge.
