    Galaxy Note 7 fires and global recall

    Numerous reports that Galaxy Note 7 devices overheated, caught fire or exploded led Samsung to issue an initial voluntary recall and exchange program. Further incidents involving replacement devices caused a second suspension of sales, a worldwide recall and permanent discontinuation. Investigations and a US lawsuit alleged that safety risks had not been adequately disclosed; these allegations were contested legal claims rather than established findings in the supplied material.
