Samsung sued over an exploding Galaxy S7 edge
While the issue of exploding batteries on the Note7 hasn’t fully died down, Samsung is facing a lawsuit for another smartphone that exploded — resulting to serious burns for the user.
The Galaxy S7 edge is the faulty phone this time. Daniel Ramirez, owner of the handset, was working in an Amazon bookstore in Ohio when his Galaxy S7 edge caught fire while inside his pocket. The results are second- and third-degree burns on his leg which required him to go through painful skin grafts and is reported to have “permanent and life-altering injuries”.
Ramirez filed a lawsuit against Samsung in the Superior Court of New Jersey.
There are more photos from the incident in the source link below but do take note that they are somewhat graphic.

that mountain biker is an id i o t for placing his iphone in his back pocket while cycling. he must have ruptured the phone + battery while cycling…
if i were part of apple’s legal team, i would counter-sue and give $$ damages to EL GATO… ;)
And so is the guy at Amazon who possibly have ruptured the phone battery while bending down or hitting the corner of a table
my point is, it’s an isolated case for Christ’s sake. It’s a unique one in a million chance that could happen either to an S7 or an iPhone (that is prone to bending and exploding, btw). Very much like “SUA” of Montero which happens to Fortuner and Subaru. And I’m pretty sure some idiot below will say what about Note 7
No need for excuses. That S7 Edge fire claim could well be fraud or a stunt to further damage Samsung’s reputation. Samsung is working not only note series but also S series. Recent news says T-Mobile Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge updated with Samsung Cloud and September security patch

it’s murica. what can you expect? they will sue on almost everything even for a very stupid reason or even if they are at fault. Well, they will have the chance to earn thousands or million bucks
