It seemed like Samsung was finally getting its ducks in a row in dealing with the worldwide recall of 2.5 million defective and potentially explosive Galaxy Note 7 devices. Now, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is finally involved and today it issued an official recall for the Note 7.

The CPSC’s official description of the recall is that the Note 7 battery can “overheat and catch fire, posing a serious burn hazard to consumers.” The recall affects all Note 7s sold before September 15, 2016, which works out to “about 1 million” units in the US. According to the CPSC’s report, “Samsung has received 92 reports of the batteries overheating in the US, including 26 reports of burns and 55 reports of property damage, including fires in cars and a garage.” The commission says consumers should “immediately stop using and power down the recalled Galaxy Note 7 devices.”

Samsung knew about problems with the Galaxy Note 7 batteries at least as early as September 1, when it halted sales of the Note 7. The CPSC is only getting involved now because Samsung waited eight days before notifying them
