Any Note 7 exploding stories from this point aren't getting any sympathy from me. Because now your making the choice to continue operating a potentially dangerous device.
It's not simply people ignoring the recall. A lot of people, myself included, have concerns about conflicting recall information and whether or not the exchanges will be processed properly. I can't speak for other retailers, but the Verizon info had been especially hard to nail down with CSR's giving out different information based on who you talk to. Even store managers that are not all on the same page, much less the right one.
It's a catch 22. We decided to wait until we could at least verify the double exchange process with the S7 edge, knowing a problem could surface. It did start having issues, so we exchanged it and now have issues getting the new S7 Edge activated. Needless to say, headaches abound. If everything was straightforward without all the conflicting info, then we likely would have exchanged right away.
