Two weeks back Samsung issued a report that of the millions of Note 7s that were shipped, only 26 had been reported to overheat or explode and of those 26, the claims turned out to be fake or suspicious.

That's a big fat lie, Hostage, as have most of your comments in this thread!

Samsung itself reported they had more than that to the CPSC! Why are you lying and making up facturds to protect your favored company when they've already admitted the problem to the government?

Just three weeks after the August 19th release date of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the number of overheating and exploded devices in the US alone was over 70, not counting the rest of the world. Including those in Canada, Korea, Australia, and the UK, it was approaching 200. Here's a report from EndGadget dated September 13th reporting the dire nature of the situation. YOU ARE MAKING UP YOUR CLAIMS!

Over 70 Galaxy Note 7 phones have overheated in the US alone
By Mariella Moon — EndGadget — 09.13.16
When Samsung first issued an official statement about the Galaxy Note 7's battery issue, the company said there were 35 cases of phones overheating from around the globe. Well, we're way past that number now. According to the Canadian government, the company has received over 70 reports in the US alone. See, Samsung teamed up with Health Canada to help it get the recall ball rolling in the country. In an effort to convince consumers to return their shiny new phones that might suddenly explode, the government agency added that tidbit in the report.
Those 70-plus cases include a few high-profile ones you may have seen in the news lately. A man in Florida said his Jeep Cherokee went up in flames after a Note 7 exploded inside, while a six-year-old boy from Brooklyn suffered burns when a Note 7 blew up in his hands. Although 70 cases may not seem like that many, the Consumer Product Safety Commission already issued an official warning asking people to stop using the device. Various airlines all over the globe also banned passengers from using the phone on their planes.

Two days later, it was up to 92 in the US with 26 actual injuries to individuals and 55 with property damage which had been reported to the US Government's Consumer Product Safety Commission, at which point the CPSC made the recall official and mandatory . These are FACTS, easily checked, but you apparently prefer to obfuscate and lie.

You post links to stories planted by Samsung from before the Sh!t hit the fan on the Note 7, such as your first link from September 9th, claiming the "Exploding Note 7 stories are fake!" but we all know now they are NOT.

I will grant you that there may be some frauds trying to claim fires where there were none, but that is not the majority of the cases as YOU are trying to imply. Your other links certainly do not make that case. Give it up.
