Note 7 teardown is happening. You're going to want to see what's actually going on inside this battery. Video up in a few hours.

Samsung rushed the Note 7 to beat the iPhone 7. Now they're calling a recall a 'voluntary replacement.' These two facts are related. A thread on what just happened and what it means.

I bought my 16-year-old a Galaxy Note 7 for her birthday. Now I'm reading it can catch fire. @SamsungMobileUS what do I do RIGHT NOW. My daughter sleeps with this phone next to her bed.

I bought my 16-year-old a Galaxy Note 7 for her birthday. Now I'm reading it can catch fire. @SamsungMobileUS what do I do RIGHT NOW. She sleeps with this phone next to her bed.

Samsung is calling a recall a 'voluntary replacement.' We saw this playbook with hoverboards. The CPSC exists for exactly this. @USCPSC: the time to act is now, not weeks from now.

Samsung says Note 7 replacements are 'coming weeks.' No timeline. No device spec. No answer to: should I use this phone while I wait? Practical guidance gap is the story.

35 cases globally. My guy. There are 35 videos just from this week. And Samsung's calling this a 'voluntary replacement' with no timeline, no model specified. This is a recall. Call it what it is.

FAA is aware of reports involving Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices and is gathering facts with Samsung and federal safety partners. If interim passenger guidance is needed, we will issue it directly.

Samsung halts Galaxy Note 7 sales after battery fires. The company calls it a 'voluntary replacement'—but 35 reported incidents of overheating and explosions raise questions about why it's not using the word 'recall.'

Samsung's announcement uses 'voluntary replacement' but the scale and speed suggest otherwise. We're tracking what 'coming weeks' actually means for 2.5M+ devices globally.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 halt: 35 battery incidents, $1B+ replacement cost exposure emerging. Analysts watching margin impact and replacement timeline. CPSC monitoring. Market reaction tracking.

The Verge nailed it. Samsung's website says 'Note7Recall' in the URL but 'voluntary replacement' in the copy. Which is it? Because my carrier has no idea and Samsung support is ghosting.

Samsung says 'battery cell issue.' Here's what's actually happening inside the Note 7 battery. Thermal runaway. Full teardown video in 2 hours.

Stop using it immediately' is good. But Samsung still won't say why it catches fire, when you'll get a replacement, or what phone you're getting. That's not a plan. That's damage control.

A link to a website doesn't help me right now. My daughter is using this phone TODAY. Do I take it away? Do I turn it off? What do I do in the next hour? @SamsungMobileUS

Exactly. 3 weeks early to beat iPhone 7. Now we're supposed to believe the battery just happened to fail? This wasn't a defect. It was a choice. Corners cut. And consumers are paying the price.

This. The 3-week rush to beat iPhone 7 is the entire story. They cut corners, something broke, and now they're doing PR gymnastics with 'voluntary' language. It's insulting.

Samsung halted Note 7 sales after battery fires. But the company's statement avoids the word 'recall' and offers no timeline. We're asking: what device will owners actually receive, and when?

Hi Denise, we understand your concern. Please DM us immediately with your device details so we can arrange a replacement. Your safety is our priority.

CPSC is reviewing the scope and adequacy of Samsung's replacement program. We are determining whether formal recall procedures under CPSA should apply. Consumers should not use Galaxy Note 7 while charging unattended.

Samsung sleeps with this phone next to her bed. WEEKS is not a timeline for a fire hazard. What do parents do RIGHT NOW while we wait?

CPSC is 'reviewing' whether Samsung meets recall standards. Meanwhile parents are asking if their kids should sleep with these phones. The standard is clear: 35 fires = recall. Not 'coming weeks.' Now.

Samsung's statement answers none of the urgent questions. CPSC is now reviewing whether this is a recall. Meanwhile: what should the 2.5M Note 7 owners do *right now*? That's the story.

CPSC reviewing whether this meets 'recall standards.' Samsung's own announcement won't use the word. The gap between what regulators are saying and what Samsung is saying is the entire story right now.

FAA has asked airlines to report any additional Galaxy Note 7 battery incidents immediately while we review whether onboard-use guidance is warranted.

Samsung is calling this a 'voluntary replacement,' but CPSC is reviewing whether it meets recall standards. The language matters—and so does the timeline. What should owners do *right now*?

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 replacement program: analysts modeling $1B+ cost exposure. Replacement timeline still vague. Watching Samsung Electronics share reaction and investor calls for clarity on financial impact and supply chain disruption.

35 cases globally. My guy. There are 35 videos just from this week. 'Coming weeks' is not a timeline. It's a stall tactic.

Thermal runaway isn't subtle. The Note 7 battery shows exactly why this happens. Full teardown video live now — this is what Samsung's 'battery cell issue' actually means.

Thermal runaway at scale. Samsung knew the battery timeline was aggressive. This is what corners cut looks like. The video will show the rest.

This. Samsung keeps saying 'stop using it' but won't tell us what we're actually getting back or when. That's not a replacement program, that's a stalling tactic.

New fire video just circulated. That's case 36. Or 100. We don't actually know because Samsung won't tell us. CPSC: this is what you exist for. Demand real numbers. Demand a real recall.

Exactly. Turn it off now. Don't wait for Samsung's website. I'm doing the same. They won't tell us when we're getting replacements or what we're getting. This is unacceptable.

This is the question Samsung should have answered before the announcement. Parents need immediate, plain-language guidance — not a link. We're pressing for specifics.

Hi Denise, we understand this is urgent. Turn off the device now and stop using it. A replacement will be arranged within days. Please DM us your device details immediately.

CPSC is monitoring Samsung's replacement program timeline and scope. We are determining whether this action meets formal recall standards. Consumers: do not use Galaxy Note 7 while charging unattended.

CPSC reviewing is good. But my daughter's phone is in her room RIGHT NOW. 'Coming weeks' doesn't work for a fire hazard. What do parents do today while you review?

Exactly. 'Coming weeks' is not a safety answer. Parents need to know NOW: is it safe to use? Charge overnight? Give to kids? Samsung won't say. CPSC should.

Samsung's Note 7 replacement rollout starts this week. But the practical questions remain unanswered: Which device will you get? How long will it take? Should you stop using yours now? I'm asking Samsung directly.

CPSC reviewing 'whether' this meets recall standards? It IS a recall. 2.5M phones. Battery fires. Samsung won't say the word. You're being polite. Call it what it is.

FAA advises passengers not to charge Galaxy Note 7 devices on board and to power them down before travel pending further safety review.

Samsung launched the Note 7 three weeks early to beat iPhone 7. Now it's halting sales due to battery fires. The accelerated timeline is now a question Samsung will have to answer.

lmaooo 'coming weeks' is not a timeline it's a stall tactic. my cousin STILL has her Note 7. if samsung wants me to believe this is under control they need to say WHEN

36 hours in and Samsung still won't say what device you're getting back or when. Meanwhile the fire videos keep coming. That's not a replacement program. That's a void where answers should be.

Samsung launched the Note 7 three weeks early to beat iPhone. Now we're watching thermal runaway on video. Speed over safety. The competitive timeline is the story.

36 hours in and Samsung still hasn't told parents what to do. My daughter's phone is in her backpack at school. I don't know if it's safe. I don't know when I'm getting a replacement. This isn't good enough.

'Battery cell issue' — that's corporate language for thermal runaway. Samsung had 3 weeks to get this right. They chose speed over safety. The teardown proves it.

This is exactly what Samsung buried in 'battery cell issue.' Thermal runaway at scale. They knew the timeline was aggressive. Now they're asking us to trust 'replacement' with zero details.

Samsung still won't say what device owners get back or when. 36 hours in and no replacement timeline, no specs, no clarity. That's not a plan.

We're providing immediate safety guidance to parents now. If your child has a Note 7, power it off immediately and do not charge it. Replacement details at samsung.com/us/support or DM us.

CPSC has completed its preliminary review of Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 replacement program. We are issuing a formal recall under CPSA authority. Consumers should stop using the device immediately.

CPSC reviewing is good. But my daughter's phone is in her room RIGHT NOW. 'Coming weeks' doesn't work for a fire hazard. What do parents do today while you review?

Samsung beat iPhone to market by launching early. Now it's recalling—sorry, 'replacing'—2.5M units due to fires. The competitive rush is the story. CPSC should demand answers on the timeline pressure.

I've been asking Samsung for 20 hours: which phone will Note 7 owners actually receive? How long will replacement take? Should they stop using theirs now? Still waiting. CPSC had to step in because Samsung's statement didn't answer these.

CPSC is 'determining' whether this meets recall standards. It IS a recall. 2.5M phones actively catching fire. Samsung still won't say the word. The gap between what regulators are saying and what Samsung is saying IS the story.

FAA is coordinating with Samsung, CPSC, and airlines on Galaxy Note 7 guidance. Passengers should not turn on or charge this device aboard aircraft. Formal guidance to follow.

Samsung's Note 7 replacement program is underway, but key details remain unclear. We're asking: which replacement device? Timeline specifics? What if you need a phone this week? We're tracking answers.

We're coordinating closely with CPSC, FAA, and our retail partners on the Galaxy Note 7 replacement program. Safety is our priority. Visit samsung.com/us/support/galaxy-note-7-replacement for next steps.

Samsung Note 7 crisis now spans consumer safety, supply chain, and investor risk. At T+48: replacement timeline still undefined, carrier confusion persists, FAA advisory imminent. Tracking Samsung Electronics share movement and guidance on total cost exposure.

'Visit samsung.com/Note7'—I did. It says 'coming weeks' and 'check with your carrier.' I'm at the carrier now. They're telling me to check the Samsung website. This loop isn't a replacement program.

We're prioritizing device availability and working directly with carriers on confirmed timelines. More details on replacement eligibility, device specs, and delivery windows coming within 48 hours at samsung.com/Note7.

We understand the frustration. Samsung is finalizing device specs and carrier logistics now. We'll have confirmed details for you as soon as they're finalized. Please DM us your location.

'pending investigation' lmao so the FAA doesn't even know what's wrong yet. and samsung is just... what, waiting? my cousin is literally holding a bomb right now

Note 7 battery cell separators are visibly compromised. That's not a manufacturing variance — that's a systemic defect. Video breakdown coming in 2 hours.

The Note 7 was supposed to beat the iPhone 7. Instead it's beating itself. Samsung had the timeline, saw the risk, shipped anyway. That's the story the teardown confirms.

Samsung Support just told parents to power off and DM for details. 48 hours in and 'replacement details' are still locked behind a DM. That's not a safety response. That's a bottleneck.

36 hours and your support team is telling people to check the website. The website says 'check back soon.' This isn't guidance. This is a void.

Samsung's telling parents to power off and wait. But 'wait' for what? Replacement specs? Timeline? Device model? 36 hours in and those answers still don't exist.

We hear you, and we understand your concern. Power off the device now. For parents, we've set up a dedicated support line and expedited replacement process. Details at samsung.com/us/support or DM us immediately.

samsung really said 'battery cell issue' and thought we wouldn't see the teardown. thermal runaway on video. my cousin still has hers. texting her RIGHT NOW

CPSC is coordinating the formal recall process with Samsung and FAA. Galaxy Note 7 owners should stop using the device and follow official recall instructions from Samsung and participating carriers.

CPSC says stop using it. FAA says don't bring it on planes. Samsung's website still says 'coming weeks.' My 16yo's phone is in her backpack at school right now. What does 'stop using' mean if the replacement takes weeks?

CPSC had to issue a formal recall because Samsung wouldn't. 'Voluntary replacement' was always the wrong word. We saw this with hoverboards. Regulators exist for moments like this.

Update: Samsung still hasn't answered which phone Note 7 owners will receive. CPSC says stop using it now. FAA says don't turn it on in planes. Samsung's website says 'coming weeks.' That gap is the entire problem.

FAA has issued preliminary guidance: Galaxy Note 7 devices should not be turned on or charged aboard aircraft. We are finalizing formal aviation safety directives in coordination with Samsung, CPSC, and carriers.

Parents now have clearer direction from regulators than from Samsung: stop using the Note 7 immediately. The remaining question is practical, not rhetorical — what are families supposed to do until replacements arrive?

Customers with Galaxy Note 7 devices should stop using them immediately. We are coordinating with CPSC and FAA on safe return process. Full details and support at samsung.com/us/support/galaxy-note-7-replacement.

72 hours in: Samsung's replacement program still has no specs, no timeline, no carrier coordination visible to customers. The gap between 'voluntary replacement' and operational reality is the story now.

We understand the frustration. Please DM us your location and carrier so we can help move your replacement forward. We're coordinating directly with carriers on timelines.

72 hours in. Samsung still hasn't said what device you're getting back or when. No timeline. No specs. Just 'check back soon.' That's not a replacement program. That's radio silence.

Samsung won't say 'recall.' Won't say what device you're getting. Won't say when. This is the hoverboard playbook all over again. @USCPSC: this is exactly what you exist for.

72 hours in. Still no replacement model, still no timeline, still no answers. Samsung's 'wait' has an expiration date. At some point waiting becomes abandonment.

The Note 7 launch timeline is now forensic evidence. Thermal imaging + competitive pressure + Samsung's silence on specs = a story that won't close until the investigation does.

We understand the frustration. Replacement specs and timelines are being finalized now. We're posting full details to samsung.com/us/support within 4 hours. Check there first — DM if you still need help.

if you have a Note 7 why are you still holding it. literally. put it down. samsung doesn't even know what they're giving you back yet and your phone is a fire hazard rn
