US consumer agency looking into reports of other Samsung handsets exploding

You have all heard by now that there’s a battery cell issue with the Galaxy Note 7 which has forced Samsung to recall all units it has shipped since the phablet was released. There have been reports of some other Samsung handsets facing similar issues where the battery apparently overheated and burned the phone. A new report claims that the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission is now looking into these reports of handsets other than the Galaxy Note 7 having potential battery issues.

There have been multiple reports recently of other Samsung smartphones facing the same issue. A man in California has sued Samsung, claiming that his Galaxy S7 edge exploded in his pocket. Some footage was released recently which seemingly showed a Galaxy S7 combusting for no apparent reasonABC News points to some other incidents as well in its report, incidents which even involve the Galaxy S4.

Samsung told the news outlet that “Recent reports suggesting Samsung’s battery issue goes beyond the Galaxy Note7 are not true,” reiterating that the battery cell issue it confirmed earlier this month “is isolated to one battery manufacturer for one specific phone model.” The company is basically refuting reports that there are similar battery problems with handsets other than the Galaxy Note 7. That might be true after all since we haven’t seen reports of those devices burning up on a scale that’s even comparable to that of Samsung’s latest phablet.
