Samsung, an international electronic and appliance company, is demanding a recall of millions of Galaxy Note 7’s after 35 phones have ignited into flames proving dangerous to customers.  The Federal Aviation Authority has advised passengers to avoid turning on or charging phones during flights and even gone as far as banning the phones in any checked luggage.

The corporation has identified the problem to be stemming from an issue within the battery cell. Galaxy Note 7’s currently use a lithium battery which can overheat due to its reactive nature.

“The lithium-ion battery in the Galaxy Note 7 smartphones can overheat and catch fire, posing a serious burn hazard to consumers,”  the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission stated.       

These exploding phones have popped up internationally as cases have been reported in the United States, Australia and England. Although none of these incidences have ended fatally, injuries and damage have created alarm among customers.

One account surfaced from a woman in Florida whose 6 year old grandson was burned by her Samsung phone while watching videos. He was rushed to the hospital and was treated for first degree burns.

“It set off alarms in my house,” the woman accounted. Another man in St. Petersburg Florida came home to find his jeep engulfed in flames after leaving his Galaxy Note 7 inside.

“I don’t think I’m going to let another Samsung product into my house,” the man later said.

For any Samsung customer who has purchased the new Galaxy phone, this reaction is not uncommon. For Senior Sophie Harris, the news of the explosions is alarming and even caused her to concur that she’s not sure if she wants to use Samsung phones again.

“It’s a little scary knowing that my phone company is having these problems,” Harris stated.

For students who purchased this phone and aren’t sure what to do, according to an official statement released by Samsung on September 2nd, “For customers who already have Galaxy Note 7 devices, we will voluntarily replace their current device with a new one over the coming weeks.”
