Enlarge / Samsung's IMEI database flags our Note 7 review unit as defective. It seemed like Samsung was finally getting its ducks in a row in dealing with the worldwide recall of 2.5 million defective and potentially explosive Galaxy Note 7 devices. Now, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is finally involved and today it issued an official recall for the Note 7. The CPSC's official description of the recall is that the Note 7 battery can "overheat and catch fire, posing a serious burn hazard to consumers." The recall affects all Note 7s sold before September 15, 2016, which works out to "about 1 million" units in the US.
