TechnologyAir regulators warn of Galaxy phone fire riskAviation regulators in several countries and airlines are advising against turning on or charging Samsung’s Note 7 smartphones during flights because their lithium batteries can catch fire and explode. But at least one U.S. regulator is advising consumers to stop using the phones altogether. That followed a similar warning issued Thursday by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. South Korea-based Samsung is recalling all of the 2.5 million smartphones shipped since they went on sale. The Environmental Protection Agency found that the cars emitted up to 40 times the legal limit for nitrogen oxide.
