Samsung Galaxy Note7 Battery Safety Recall and Exchange Program:
Samsung has announced a voluntary recall and exchange
program on certain Galaxy Note7 devices in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The affected devices were sold in the U.S.
before September 15, 2016. Since the affected devices can overheat and pose a
safety risk, if you own a Galaxy Note7, it is extremely important to stop using
your device, power it down and immediately exchange it using our U.S. Note7
Exchange Program.
Through the U.S. Note7 Exchange Program, you can:
1.
Exchange your
current Galaxy Note7 device with a new Galaxy Note7 as approved by the CPSC
available no later than September 21, 2016; or
2.
Exchange your
current Galaxy Note7 for a Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge and replacement of any
Note7 specific accessories with a refund of the price difference between
devices; or
3.
Contact your
point of purchase to obtain a refund.
Customers who exchange a Note7 device will also
receive a $25 gift card, in-store credit, in-store accessory credit or bill
credit from select carrier retail outlets.
Note: The battery cell issue applies only to the
Galaxy Note7 sold in the U.S. before September 15, 2016.
