Uh, no, it isn't. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has been sold in the USA, too. An estimated 800,000 or so in this country. . . Samsung is recalling 2.5 million of these phones world wide because more and more of them are being reported exploding and/or catching fire while being charged.

The announcement was just released first in South Korea because that is where Samsung is headquartered and most likely where they sold the most of this model. Samsung decided against going through the US' Consumer Product Safety Commission for the recall as required by law, instead relying on trying to contact buyers through news and carriers to recall them.
