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.

And there's yet another case of Galaxy Note 7 exploding and catching fire, this time in an Australian hotel, where it managed to cause $1380 in damages to the owner's room.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall: Here's how to return or get refund from Verizon, T-Mobile, Samsung, AT&T and others for your affected device.

It looks as though Samsung could have something of a public relations nightmare on its hands. After halting shipments of its new Galaxy Note 7 to local telecom companies earlier in the week due to a number of high profile battery explosion accidents, it's now being reported that the electronics giant could be planning on a device recall to replace affected Galaxy Note 7 devices sold in both South Korea and abroad.
