Two terminals Galaxy Note 7 safe they caught fire again this week, separate from the one that burned in an airplane and led to the evacuation of the aircraft, plus the evacuation of the race. Both units that caught fire this week are the ones with batteries safe, and Samsung has hidden a case of eyes press for several days, until the affected man reported everything.
Let's start with the first situation, a woman from Thailand reported that her Galaxy Note 7 caught fire while she was walking her dog in the park. the terminal began to emit smoke while in her pocket, she immediately removed it and threw it on the floor while walking her dog, the replaced device being in her possession for about a week.
The Galaxy Note 7 terminal overheated in the woman's pocket before she dropped it on the floor, and Samsung is trying to contact her to investigate the device. Samsung says that it cannot confirm that the terminal is actually a replacement unit, but it is extremely unlikely that the woman was lying during the interviews given to the media in Taiwan.
Two Galaxy Note 7s caught fire, a man ended up in the hospital
The second case is more serious, because the Galaxy Note 7 caught fire in a man's bedroom, filling his room with smoke, when he got up to discover the burning terminal. The day after the incident, the man had to go to the hospital with acute bronchitis due to the toxic smoke he inhaled overnight, something that Samsung knew.
The man's Galaxy Note 7 terminal was a replacement unit, he took possession of the device about a week before it caught fire. This Galaxy Note 7 was not charging, but was simply placed on a bedside table next to the man's bed, so we are talking about a simple defective battery problem that put the man's health at risk.
"The phone is supposed to be the replacement, so you would have thought it would be safe. It wasn't plugged in. It wasn't anything, it was just sitting there."
Samsung knew about this incident since Tuesday, but did not confirm its existence to the press, the victim talking to the local press about the incident. Before this happened, the man received an SMS from a Samsung representative, sent by mistake of course, saying that he could get over if that would help the company's situation.
"Just now got this. I can try and slow him down if we think it will matter, or we just let him do what he keeps threatening to do and see if he does it."
Basically, Samsung knows that the Galaxy Note 7 terminals have defective batteries and present the same risk of explosion, and this is the biggest problem. We are talking about 3 incidents in one week, all with batteries safe, and it is already clear that Samsung did not offer users safe units, but only apparent lies.
