PETALING JAYA, Oct 17 — A Malaysian user has reported what could be the first case of a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 fire.

Robson Ng shared his experience on Facebook yesterday.

Tagging Samsung Malaysia, Ng said the phone caught fire at 4am while he was driving home with his wife on a highway,

Sarcastically thanking the company for the experience, he said: “I had the opportunity to prove to my wife I am able to handle just about any emergency situation, i.e. able to be in control while having Note7 smoke & fire in the car…”

…

In a statement on Wednesday, Samsung Malaysia Electronics (SME) Sdn Bhd urged all pre-order owners of Samsung Galaxy Note7 to power off their devices immediately. The option of a refund or exchange for the Samsung Galaxy S7edge will be available for pre-order owners provided they returned their Samsung Galaxy Note7.

Refunds will be done via bank transfer for a total of RM2,879.10 (pre-order price), and users can also ask for a refund of original Samsung accessories purchased from Samsung Experience Store and participating retail partners with proof of purchase.
