FAA Warns Pax About Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Phones
Aviation authorities are highlighting the risks of flying with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which is subject to a global replacement program.

The U.S. FAA is warning aircraft passengers not to turn on or charge Samsung Galaxy Note 7 mobile devices onboard due to multiple cases of lithium-ion battery fires, including a car that reportedly caught fire while the phone was charging. “In light of recent incidents and concerns raised by Samsung about its Galaxy Note 7 devices, the [FAA] strongly advises passengers not to turn on or charge these devices on board aircraft and not to stow them in any checked baggage,” said an agency statement issued on September 8.
