The Galaxy Note 7 has become a real problem for Samsung. Although today is one of the best smartphones on the market, it came with a pretty serious flaw: its battery is defective and can ignite, so now even the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States considers ban on flights in the country .
to date already 35 the Galaxy Note 7 in the world that have made users have reported spontaneous combustion when connected to the charger. One of them, which we reported yesterday in Gizmodo in Spanish , was in a hotel room in Australia and beyond the risk of fire that ran the compound and burn in the user’s fingers when trying off, generated nearly $ 1,400 in damage to the hotel, which Samsung announced it would pay.
So, our colleagues from the United States contacted the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration in that country) and some of the airlines most important of the nation, who assured them they are investigating the case and although they have not made a decision, yes they are considering banning mobile on their flights for security.
“the FAA is they working on it together with the Administration on security, but we have clear is that if they remove the mobile market and ask their users that return for changes or miembtos of the crew or passengers can bring these phones on board or in the cabin or in the case or at any time. “
the fact is that Samsung already retired mobile market and asked its users who returned for a future change, but has not followed the correct protocol in the United States, which must involve the Commission and Consumer Safety country. Having done so, and mobile would be prohibited on any flight nationwide.
Samsung is recalling about 2.5 million units of Galaxy Note 7 to change their faulty batteries and analyze detailed failure that causes this. Meanwhile, any time the FAA could be decided and ban on flights in the country, at least until this problem is resolved.
