Samsung has made an urgent call to all Galaxy Note 7 users to immediately turn off their handsets and return them for the worldwide recall. Even international airlines like MAS has announced they are banning passengers from bringing their Note7 whether turned off or even stored in the checkin luggage. SEOUL, KOREA – SEPTEMBER 10, 2016 Just over a week ago, Samsung Electronics announced a global replacement program for the Galaxy Note7 as a precautionary measure due to a battery cell issue. We are asking users to power down their Galaxy Note7s and exchange them as soon as possible,” says DJ Koh, President of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics “We are expediting replacement devices so that they can be provided through the exchange program as conveniently as possible and in compliance with related regulations. Customers who have Galaxy Note7 devices can replace their current device with a new device based on local availability. We encourage Galaxy Note7 customers to contact their place of purchase or call the designated call center locally as soon as possible. Government agencies and civil society groups welcomed the updates but noted that more measures may still be needed to address issues such as harmful content, misinformation, and cybercrime affecting children and teenagers online.
