Samsung’s new smartphone, the Galaxy Note 7, continues to have fire safety issues and do damage to the company’s image, as well as its stock. Production of the phone has completely stopped and a recall was issued, as Samsung is doing its best to save face. The last major electronic device to randomly burst into flames was the hoverboard. There was a major recall of those as well. The Galaxy Note 7 and hoverboards are just two of many fire safety recalls to happen to major companies over the last several decades.

Obviously there is no way to predict which items when purchased will have fire hazard or fire safety issues. The only thing you can do is pay attention to the news, because product recalls do happen. If something you own is recalled by the manufacturer, it is not a suggestion. There is real danger when these items are deemed unsafe enough to recall, and there is no reason to play it macho or be lazy about sending it back. Be smart, be safe, and stay up-to-date on product recalls, because you never know.
