Adding to Samsung’s woes over Galaxy Note 7, a man from Florida has sued the south Korean company after a Note 7 device exploded in his pocket while at work in Palm Beach Gardens. Jonathan Strobel suffered severe and “deep second-degree burns” on his right thigh and thumb when the phone exploded, palmbeachpost.com reported on Monday. The US government has officially recalled the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphones after dozens of reported cases in which batteries exploded or caught fire. “Consumers should immediately stop using and power down the recalled Galaxy Note 7 devices purchased before September 15, 2016, “ the notice said. Samsung said last week that it will launch media advertisements to apologise for the “discomfort and concern” caused due to the ongoing global recall of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones.
