  • Samsung sets up Note 7 exchange booths at airports around the world

    Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 is not the company’s only smartphone prone to dangerous explosions, according to a new lawsuit that says a Galaxy S6 Active shot out flames 5in high and left one user with “melted flesh”.

    The complaint, which alleges that Samsung has known for years that its technology was hazardous, comes amid an embarrassing and expansive recall of 1.9m Galaxy Note 7 devices after it was revealed that the lithium ion battery was causing combustions.

    The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in US district court in California, suggests that the tech malfunctions extend beyond the Galaxy Note 7 and that Samsung “chose to conceal the problem from the public … despite knowing the foreseeable and predictable risk that the phone may overheat, flame and destruct from the inside presenting a risk of serious harm or injury”.

    The problems with the Series 7 phones are “just the tip of the iceberg”, said Frank Pitre, the attorney for Brandon Covert and his wife Jennifer who allegedly dealt with a fiery explosion of a Galaxy S6 Active.

    The reports also mentioned problems with the Galaxy S2, Galaxy Tab 2, Galaxy Tab 3, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.

    “As the batteries progressed and became more powerful, the consequences became more significant,” said Gene Stonebarger, another attorney representing the Coverts. “This information is being repressed and has not been made public by Samsung. They are clearly aware of the dangers of their phones beyond the [Galaxy Note 7].”

    The suit, which seeks unspecified damages, said the “smell of toxic fumes, scorched metal, burnt flesh, and smoke filled [the Coverts’] bedroom, making it uninhabitable for several days following the explosion and fire”.

    Stonebarger said the Coverts’ case and the past consumer complaints indicate that there should be much broader recalls and that Samsung should face extensive government investigations.

    “People should not have to live in fear that they are walking around with a ticking time bomb.”

    A Samsung spokesperson declined to comment.

    Hate to say it, but Australian workers ain't doing themselves any favours here. As a nation they already have enough of a rep for a bigger than normal share of racism and sexism. etc etc etc
    How dare you put down the people of a country such as Australia.  In my  extensive travels all over the world for many years, Australians are the nicest, most generous, most welcoming, kindest, friendliest, fairest, happy and free folk I have ever met !!  Look to your own backyard "ireland".
    Nah, we can be a fairly racist lot at times, even if we don't want to admit it.
