Qantas bans passengers from charging new Samsung Galaxy Note7
phones on flights
Qantas is banning passengers charging the new Samsung Galaxy Note7
on all flights because of fears devices with faulty batteries could
catch fire.
Samsung has issued a global recall of the device after incidents of
the devices catching fire when plugged in to charge.
In recent days, there have been two incidents of the device exploding,
including one case in Perth where a man's phone was scorched as he
slept in his hotel room.
Qantas passenger Dean Cabena told Fairfax Media flight crew warned
passengers on a Perth to Sydney flight this week against recharging
the device in the air.
A Qantas Group spokesman said the ban had been issued following
Samsung's global recall.
"Following the worldwide recall of the Samsung Galaxy Note7 Personal
Electronic Device (PED), we are requesting that passengers do not
charge them inflight," the spokesman said.
Samsung issued the recall on 2 September when it said as of 1
September, there had been 35 incidents involving the device and faulty
batteries.
It subsequently stopped all sales of the Galaxy Note7 and is offering
customers replacements.
Samsung Australia said it's recall was "voluntary and proactive." It
said there had been two instances of the phone overheating in Australia.
An estimated 50,000 phones will be recalled in Australia.
It comes at a devastating time for Samsung, as rival Apple launches its
new iPhone.
