Exploding Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on a Southwest Airlines flight has now prompted a CPSC and FAA investigation. Here are the details.
When things aren't quite going according to plan, sometimes there's not a lot you can do other than hold your hands up and take what's coming to you. The problem Samsung is facing right now though is that it already did that when it recalled each and every Galaxy Note 7 that it had sold due to phone catching fire and exploding because of faulty battery.
After having to issue a worldwide recall for defective batteries in its Galaxy Note 7, the last thing Samsung wanted was "exploding" issue to occur in another one of its product lines. Unfortunately for the South Korean company, it looks as though it will have to deal with yet more problems sooner rather than later with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issuing a safety warning over Samsung top-loading washing machines that are said to have been known to explode.

Yet another Galaxy Note 7 has burst into flames, this time when the device was in operation with a 6-year-old boy watching videos on the Samsung's 2016 flagship smartphone.
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.
