Again Today Galaxy Note 7 caught fire in Virginia 



A replacement Samsung Galaxy Note 7 found fire at the beginning of today in Virginia, the fourth known case in the United States in under a week. Shawn Minter reached The Verge after his Note 7 burst into flames on his end table at 5:45AM. That telephone was a substitution he got in the wake of giving back his reviewed Note 7 at a Sprint store in Richmond, Virginia, on September 23rd.

"My Galaxy Note 7 substitution telephone simply burst into blazes while on the night stand," Minter said in an email to The Verge. "It filled my room with a smoke. The same as the Kentucky man. I woke up in finish freeze." Minter sent us duplicates of his receipts and photos of the container demonstrating the dates of the trade and the serial numbers, affirming that he had a substitution telephone.

His story, and the photos, are like the others we've seen for the current week, including one that burst into flames on Tuesday in Kentucky, one that burst into flames on a Southwest Airlines flight, and a third on Friday that burst into flames in the hands of a 13-year old young lady.


Samsung has known that substitution telephones were bursting into flames in any event since early this week, when one sent a Kentucky man to the healing center, yet it has not yet issued a review of the substitution telephones nor even said that clients ought to quit utilizing them. We now have four purportedly "safe" telephones in the US that have burst into flames and reports of all the more abroad. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has said it is "moving speedily" to research the flames.

Bewilderingly, Minter said that delegates at the Sprint store even offered him another substitution Note 7. He chose to take a Samsung Galaxy S 7.


I should repeat what I said in a story the previous evening about another substitution telephone that burst into flames. On the off chance that you claim a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 you ought to quit utilizing it quickly and return it for a discount — all the significant US transporters will trade the telephone, paying little respect to buy date. Samsung has taken care of the whole review remarkably ineffectively, and keeps on doing as such by not being all the more approaching about what's happening with these substitution gadget. Until we get more data, the easiest clarification is the best one: The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is an in a general sense faulty item and it ought to be pulled from the market immediately.
