Samsung: \u2018about half\u2019 of dangerous Note 7s have been exchanged in the US<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Samsung: \u2018about half\u2019 of dangerous Note 7s have been exchanged in the US<\/strong> : Samsung is claiming that \u201cabout half\u201d of the Galaxy Note 7 devices that could potentially explode have been exchanged for new phones \u2014 at least in the US. Samsung also says that \u201c90 percent\u201d of those who have exchanged their phone decided to get another Galaxy Note 7.<\/span><\/p>\n

Samsung has been under fire (pardon the pun) for mishandling the recall, having at the very least failed to engage with US regulators. At worst, some owners who are trying to return their Note 7s are running into problems dealing with Samsung, the carriers, or both. Bloomberg also recently reported that the root of the problem with the faulty batteries stemmed from a rush to outdo the iPhone 7. Meanwhile, lawsuits have begun and the FAA won\u2019t let owners turn the phones on during flights nor check them in luggage.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of that is just a sampling of the bad news that\u2019s accrued over the past week or so, and more is likely to come until the number of returned devices reaches something approximating 100 percent. And even then, it could be an indefinite dark stain on Samsung\u2019s brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s full statement is below:<\/span><\/p>\n

Samsung Electronics America, Inc. announced today that about half of all recalled Galaxy Note7 phones sold in the U.S. have been exchanged through Samsung\u2019s voluntary recall. Additionally, 90 percent of Galaxy Note7 owners have been opting to receive the new Galaxy Note7 since the phones became widely available on Wednesday, September 21.<\/span><\/p>\n
