The FAA had to issue a warning because ONE PERSON reported their Samsung phone had caught on fire on an airliner.

The FAA did not BAN Samsung phones, there merely issued a warning because they had to.

I have my doubts but you apparently believe whatever you read on the internet.

Samsung phones are banned by 3 airlines. Look 'em up. (One is Qantas. Since I fly to Australia, this does affect me.)

Samsung washing machines have exploded. Research. Since I may be buying a new machine, I decided to review such reports versus units sold. You know, standard test engineering stuff. Didn't like what I saw.

You can research. Or not.

It is MORE than one fire from a Samsung phone, Hostage, and not just in the US. There have been fires here and in Singapore and in China.

This is NOT Industrial sabotage. Samsung has identified a manufacturing error combined with a battery supplier's out of spec battery as the primary culprit, with a design flaw in the original design also possibly being part of the problem because of the replacements also overheating, although not exploding. The manufacturing error was putting too much pressure on a small number of out-of-spec batteries supplied by one battery supplier which damaged the internals of those batteries which caused the phones to overheat and explode under charge. The design flaw may be at fault in those which overheated and caught fire at other times which included those replacement phones with fully in spec batteries. . . but "industrial sabotage" has been ruled out.
