MaxSez: The U.S. FAA issued a statement not to use Samsung Galaxy Note 7 electronic devices on board aircraft over fears about the safety of the device’s lithium battery.
The FAA stated:
In light of recent incidents and concerns raised by Samsung about its Galaxy Note 7 devices, the Federal Aviation Administration strongly advises passengers not to turn on or charge these devices on board aircraft and not to stow them in any checked baggage.
The move stems from Samsung‘s decision to recall the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone. Due to an undisclosed manufacturing defect, the lithium ion battery cell can overheat when charging, leading in some instances to the battery catching fire or exploding. (AvSafety.net)
@tranquil_skyflyer. Hi Flyer, As the Topic comment indicated the phone has been recalled. The recall set of a fury in the commercial airline world because of the safety of flight issue. One Australian airline had band the phone completely. Read yr bio odiously your either a Canadian or bias LOL! Note your hearing impaired, me to, my loss is due to old age and being in the military for a long time around guns and airplanes. Never realized how lucky I was until lately. Hope to see you out and about in IF sky’s, I’ll buzz you if I do.
Warm Regards, Max
MaxSez: @tranquil_skyflyer…c the manufacturer did a self recall and did not follow the prescribed government protocol on recalls. Expect a government legal reaction for there failure to follow a legal obligation. Below find a quote from the initial post. In future suggest to “read” comments closely. There are snakes on this plane, some guys sprew wrong answers on this Forum just to get attention.
