Duty to warn
Product liability

Not long after launching its Note 7 smartphone in August 2016, Samsung received many reports of burning phones. Samsung had no choice but to recall all the Galaxy Note 7s, which had cost the company around $5.3bn. Following the recall, the Federal Aviation Administration prohibited people from turning a Galaxy Note 7 on, packing it in the checked luggage, or charging it while on the plane. On October 11, 2016 Samsung stopped the production and issued a warning for people to turn the Galaxy Note 7 off and to not use it any longer. Samsung also told all of its global partners to stop selling the phone because of concerns about the product's safety. After testing 200,000 devices and 30,000 batteries, Samsung found that the overheating and the burning phones resulted from an error in the design and manufacture of the batteries on the part of its two suppliers.
