samsung recall

As if Samsung is not having a bad year already, the company has announced a new recall, this time for its top-load washing machine due to safety issues. Image: Samsung WA40J3000AW/A2 & WA56H9000AP/A2 top-load washing machines. Samsung had a really good year this year. Sales figures were off the charts and Samsung seems to be on a winning streak for the last 2 consecutive years. It was supposed to be an affirmation that Samsung remains to be the “King of Android” that can easily slug it out with the iPhone and Apple’s massive cult-like following. Eventually, Samsung admitted that there was some manufacturing defect in some of the batteries that were shipped with the Note7. The “antenna-gate” and the “bend-gate” that hounded Apple a couple years back pales in comparison to what Samsung had to endure with the Galaxy Note7, much less the financial setback this type of recall is costing them. Reports estimate the recall would amount to about $1 billion for the 2.5 million devices shipped since the initial release.
