Samsung meddelade under natten till tisdagen svensk tid att försäljningen av Galaxy Note 7 upphör globalt på obestämd tid medan företaget undersöker de senaste fallen av telefoner som fattat eld. Även utbytesprogrammet kommer att stoppas och Samsung uppmanar samtliga som äger en Galaxy Note 7 att omedelbart stänga av enheten. Uppmaningen innefattar också utbytesenheterna som kännetecknas av en grön batteriikon.

We are working with relevant regulatory bodies to investigate the recently reported cases involving the Galaxy Note 7. Because consumers’ safety remains our top priority, Samsung will ask all carrier and retail partners globally to stop sales and exchanges of the Galaxy Note7 while the investigation is taking place.

We remain committed to working diligently with appropriate regulatory authorities to take all necessary steps to resolve the situation. Consumers with either an original Galaxy Note7 or replacement Galaxy Note7 device should power down and stop using the device and take advantage of the remedies available.
