Seriously though, I honestly think there is such a thing as ill informed parents: I've seen a lot of people saying how it's impossible not to know at this point yet I've dealt with my relatives long enough to suddenly hear how they want to show me this funny new video about a Korean dude dancing like a horse, like unironically today in 2016.

 

Adults can be alarmingly out of touch yet have enough money to buy products they know nothing about. It happens.

 

I thought sumsang gives out email/text messages? I really doubt ill informed parents will buy smartphone unlocked from no carrier. If you buy it unlocked and dont use a carrier, you know what you are doing with phones and should have known the recall. And if you buy it with a carrier, you must have be informed thru email and stuff.
 

We have to know more abt the situations here, is there any further infor abt if the parents is informed abt the situation or not?

Leak...? Batteries... electricity... explosions...

 

Welp, Chernobyl 2.0 just happened. Brace your seats, hold on to your pants, and go catch the next Yvettal.

 all of you are idiots......if it wasnt for ltt i wouldnt have know about it......just because your in the know doesnt mean everyone is. oh and the idea of a parent trying to injure there child just to get some money is stupid...

Then leave, GOOD BYE. Don't need you around here anyway. 

 

PFFT, Parents beat their children, kill them,  drown them and all kinds of stuff over what seems to be basically nothing. So you don't think one would hurt their child trying to hit the Samsung Lottery? Sure love to know what you're smoking.

WHAT! its completely samsungs fault for allowing it in the first place...end of.

How the fuck is Samsung supposed to know the battery had an issue when they received them? The maker QC'd them, probably sent over paperwork saying the parts that they sent were A OK and Samsung just started slapping them in the phones.

 

Samsung did start the recall IMMEDIATELY. After they heard about the issue, they recalled them. So you choose to be that idiot that blames Samsung in all this. I'm sure ALOT of people have lost their job over this in Korea. Why? Because the Koreans take pride in their work. They feel ashamed when something goes wrong with it. 

 

I bet you also choose to blame all the car companies that used them Takata airbags. When in fact, it was Takata that caused it all.

this better stop sometime soon before they outright ban Lithium-ION batteries and we are stuck with NiCD and NiMH again lol

Oh look my phone model has been imploding yay lets give it to my six yearold that's a brilliant thing to do.

Despite what you may think, the Note 7 exploding recall thing hasn't made big news. It's been reported on, sure, but not widely enough IMO. If the parents didn't actively read through the news, It's very plausible that the parents simply did not know about the issue with the Note 7.

Did you purchase the Note 7?  If you did you would have been contacted by your phone service provider about the recall when it happened.  It's Samsung's fault for sure they released the dangerous device, but don't think that the owner/ account holder hasn't had emails or calls to warn them.

what if i got mine from a store contract free?

Are you seriously proposing that the parents might have willingly blown up their six-year-old for lawsuit money?

 

Are you also be the kind of person that believes that the world is run by lizard people and that the moon is a hologram?

Then you register the device with Samsung, unless you're rich and careless enough to spend $800 on a device and not register it for warranty.

Not saying it's the case in this situation but it's not a far fetched idea, people will do a lot for money.  I'm sure a google search of crimes committed by parents against children will show you numerous accounts.  Katina Powell, that lady in the Louisville Basketball scandal, was pimping out her 14 year old daughter for money.

Yeah, I described the type of person who doesn't. I'm not saying it's impossible to not have been notified, just putting it into perspective.

Kids? They're six, how many six year olds do you know that watch the news. At that point it was whoever gave the phone to the boys fault.

If you'd have bothered to have read ahead in the thread you'd see me arguing it is also Samsung's fault, but the fault trickles down to whoever gave the phone to the boy in the first place.

And it wasn't actually a Note 7 after all.

It was a Galaxy Core Prime.

This needs to end. Samsung is getting to the point where they need to be fined for releasing a deadly product.

It forms apart of their product, so it is their responsibility, that's how it works. I would have liked to have thought batteries are checked as well as the phone.

The batteries are checked by the manufacturer or at least they are supposed to be. Yes samsung has to QC their phones but there are very few industries that QC every single product they produce. The cost of that would just be too high to sustain.

I really don't think automated battery testing is that expensive to maintain...

I don't know any specifics of QC for things like batteries but I would put the opus of battery testing on the manufacturer. Samsung is a customer in this case the product the vendor is selling to them should have been QC'd before even being shipped to them. See the thing I've learned about QC especially since I work in logistics currently is the cost that it takes to have someone design a system (software), another person to design the hardware, another person to support it (for a qc system or any system for that matter that is automated) etc. add up to a lot of money. 

 

I'm being generous when I'm saying paying "a person" because it'll most likely be a group of people. You'd have to have specialized mechanics for the machines and if you use a vendor for all of those things the rate that they would charge you if something goes wrong/needs support is astronomical.

 

Ultimate I definitely understand what you're saying and I'm of the mind that yes every battery needs to be tested before shipped to a customer or put in a product. Someone in this thread said that Samsung themselves produced the batteries and if true then they should have QC'd every single one and it's totally Samsung's fault in that case.

I don’t suppose you know how fining a manufacturer is supposed to magically end exploding phones, do you? 

[Spartan Jack 17]

Why are people even still arguing this?  It wasn't even a Galaxy Note 7, it was a different phone.

For the love of god and all that is holy. Did the owners of Samsung do something like hugely bad. It seems like Karma is beating the shit out of them. They just want catch a break. 

yes, they thumbed their nose at everyone wanting a removable battery. I can't feel too bad for them...it would have been easier to just exchange batteries but they omitted that feature. Have fun!
