FAA Warns Consumers Not to Use Galaxy Note7 On Planes - TechAmok
FAA Warns Consumers Not to Use Galaxy Note7 On Planes - [mobile] 01:08 PM EDT - Sep,09 2016 - post a comment The Federal Aviation Administration doesn't want people to use the Samsung Galaxy Note7 smartphone on aircraft. "In light of recent incidents and concerns raised by Samsung about its Galaxy Note7 devices, the FAA strongly advises passengers not to turn on or charge these devices on board aircraft and not to stow them in any checked baggage," said the FAA in a statement. Samsung recalled the device due to the possibility of fires and/or explosions caused by the battery. The company already has an exchange program in place for U.S. consumers who may have purchased the phone. Anyone who bought the phone should exchange it at their earliest convenience. Since Samsung issued the recall, the phone has been blamed for igniting fires in a garage in South Carolina and a Jeep in Florida. The house and Jeep were total losses due to the fires. Local fire authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of those blazes. |
