Thank you! I am on my non blowing up phone and I must not have gotten the full copy and paste.

Sorry, I stopped reading after that it said all batteries are prone to blowing up if you do any of things that every battery manufacturer explicitly labels and says not to do to batteries.

Lithium ion batteries have exploded in the past. The issue here is the significant failure rate which is why Samsung is doing a recall

 

[coolbreeze78]

At least the news is laying off of ecigs... for now...

Well, lithium batteries have a chance of exploding if improperly maintained or manufactured. Remember those hoverboards?

Though the chance of them exploding on the Note7 is probably greater than what is considered normal, so Samsung did the recall.

I also thought I'd add this bit of info.

Samsung's handling of Galaxy Note 7 recall raises conerns for U.S. officials - Recode

Apparently, some retailers are still selling the Note7, even though it's under a recall and carriers plus the big retailers have already pulled them off the shelves.

Perhaps it would be best if Samsung could work with the US Consumer Safety Product Commission in order to make sales of the device during this period illegal so they are sure that no more Notes make it to the hands of more consumers and that all affected units are taken back so that they won't be a potential hazard.

Oh geez, a 1 in 42,000 chance. Make it illegal to sell? Calm down people, you're blowing this WAY out of proportion!!

Quote from link above:
"Research suggests that you’re more likely to get hurt by a kitchen grease fire or a drunk driver than the battery powering your iPhone​, Kindle or laptop."

"Make it illegal to sell" would also then apply to illegal to have one [Note 7] in ones possession.

I for one have no qualms about having my delivery put on hold, but if I was "lucky" enough to habe one already, as with many others it seems, I would not be paranoid about it exploding. Am more nervous charging multiple 18650 batteries daily in the house for my Vape Mods (e-cigs)

Well, after reading much more about what's at stake and why they did it so soon, consider this a retraction of my original statement.

I give Samsung my loyalty and admiration for stepping up and taking responsibility immediately and offering $25 for our troubles. I just wish they would give us a Gear S3 instead. ;^)

I think they are handling it well. They will get the recall done and move on. Otherwise it drags on mobile the Toyota example in the article.

You get that's not the point, right. This is about product liability and the repercussions for Samsung. They have done a good thing by this full recall, for us and for them, and zero people here need to "Calm down".
