By now, you should want to get rid of your Galaxy Note 7 as quickly as possible or run the risk of it exploding. Read on to learn how to return your phone.

Whether you have turned on the news, talked to your friends, or have been on an airplane lately, you know that the Galaxy Note 7 is dangerous. The Samsung phone has been making headlines lately due to its damaged lithium ion batteries overheating to the point of eventually exploding. This problem has cost Samsung an estimated $3 billion in losses through returns and exchanges. However, Galaxy Note 7 owners can’t just head to their local store to give back their cell phone. Instead, Samsung has set up their own recall kit.

Samsung has sent out heat-resistant recall kits to its customers who have purchased a Galaxy Note 7. If you received one of these kits, you know that Samsung is not messing around with its return process. The kit consists of four separate boxes. The box that the phone is supposed to go in is even thermally insulated. Make sure that you wear the provided protective gloves while you are packing up your explosively defective device.

The recall kit even says on its outermost box that it is forbidden to transport the Galaxy Note 7 by aircraft. If you have taken a flight recently, during the instructions to switch your phone to “airplane mode” your flight attendant will have said “turn your Galaxy Note 7 off completely.”

Once you have returned your Galaxy Note 7 and have received your new phone, download PowerPRO by PSafe.

If your Galaxy Note 7 has been affected by this recall, please return it as quickly as possible. Do not take it on an aircraft and do not keep it in your home. Return it to Samsung and treat yourself to a new device!

<![CDATA[The Dangers of Samsung’s Exploding Washers]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/dangers-samsungs-exploding-washers/ Thu, 03 Nov 2016 14:01:51 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=5344 Between the fiasco of exploding phones and washing machines, it seems that it’s time for Samsung to clean up their act.

Customers across the nation have complained of a violent boom that occurs during their laundry cycle. This explosion has been powerful enough to blow through walls and ruin clothing. Someone in Dallas reported that it sounded like a bomb went off in their washing machine.

A simple Google search will reveal the damage incurred as a result of these explosions. News channels across the nation are covering stories of local Samsung Active Washes blowing up into smithereens.

Samsung stated that all models from March 2011 to May 2016 have the highest risk of explosion. They said that the washing machine may experience “abnormal vibrations” during the washing process. Samsung has not developed a remedy for affected consumers yet, but they are planning on doing so.

Until the remedy, Samsung suggests that you only wash on the delicate cycle to help prevent the explosion. Bulky items in an aggressive cycle apparently put the washing machine at risk of blowing up.

Samsung has a class action lawsuit filed against them. Customers across the nation are claiming that they have experienced an exploding washing machine. In the court findings, a lady from Texas stated that “[The washing machine] exploded with such ferocity that it penetrated the interior wall of her garage.” The lawsuit also claimed that Samsung is working hard to cover up evidence of these explosions.

Samsung declined to comment on the lawsuit. However, they have referenced that their customers have completed “hundreds of millions of loads” without an incident since 2011. Despite their relatively high ratio of non-exploding to exploding washing machines, it is still urgent that they deal with this so no more innocent lives are negatively affected.

In early September, Samsung stated that they would replace 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 phones because of battery fires. Customers across the world complained of the phones spontaneously combusting, resulting in a massive recall.

Samsung’s products seem to have a combustive nature. Will they be able to douse the flames?
