A fifth Samsung Galaxy Note7 burns in the US

While there are many units of Samsung Galaxy Note7 out on the market, that doesn’t discount that there are already five reported cases of Note7 units going up in flames in the US. This time, Daniel Franks from Houston, Texas says his unit caught on fire while on the table when he was having lunch with his daughter and wife. The unit was replaced at a Best Buy store in late September. Franks says he couldn’t imagine what would’ve happened if his daughter, who regularly plays Minecraft on the device, was using it.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has said it’s “moving expeditiously” to investigate these cases but perhaps there needs to be more haste. Samsung also said it’s investigating the fires but haven’t determined yet if a “product safety issue exists.” Samsung says it’s “working diligently” to determine if a safety issue exists and will take immediate steps approved by CPSC to resolve the situation. It must be time though to be extra diligent with those Note7 units you might have.
