Samsung

It has been a tense few weeks for Samsung with regards to its flagship smartphone; the Galaxy Note 7. After issuing a worldwide recall to replace defective Galaxy Note 7 devices, it looked as if the company was finally moving on and starting to rebuild its reputation.

Samsung may have issued a worldwide recall for all Galaxy Note 7 hardware, but it seems that claims of battery issues just won't subside, even in the new replacement hardware.

According to a new report, a Florida-based man has become the first person in what is likely to be a long line of individuals looking to sue Samsung over the Galaxy Note 7.

If owners of the Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 thought that the exploding battery issue was just going to fade into the ether, then it appears that they are wrong. In a new warning, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has warned Galaxy Note 7 owners to "power them down and stop charging or using" the smartphone.

Following on from a report regarding yet another exploding Galaxy Note 7, which this time is believed to be responsible for burning down a home in Horry County, South Carolina, and another case of a Jeep Cherokee being burned down, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an official warning over the use of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 handsets on airplanes.
