Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphone exploded
Samsung Electronics was prosecuted on Friday by a Florida man who
said he ached severe burns after his Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphone exploded in his front
pants pocket.
The lawsuit by Jonathan Strobel may be the first in
the United States by a Samsung phone user in contradiction of the South Korean
company over a battery defect connected to the Note 7.
It was filed one day after Samsung recalled about 1
million Note 7s sold in the United States. Samsung has received 92 reports of
batteries feverishness in the United States, including 26 reports of burns and
55 reports of stuff damage, U.S. safety regulators said. We don't remark on
pending litigation," Samsung spokeswoman Danielle Meister Cohen said in an
email. "We are urging all Note 7 owners to power their device down and argument
it instantaneously. Strobel, 28, of Boca Raton, said he was in a Costco store
in Palm Beach Gardens on September 9 when his Note 7 exploded.
He said the phone charred
directly through his pants, subsequent in severe burns on his right leg.
Strobel said he was also cruelly burned on his left
thumb, after he stretched over to try to remove the phone from his pants. "He
has a deep second-degree burn, jaggedly the size of the phone, on his right
thigh," Strobel's lawyer Keith Pierro said. "Inappropriately for my
client the recall came too late." The lawsuit pursues unspecified damages
for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other alleged injuries.
It was filed in a Florida state law court in Palm Beach County. The case is
Strobel v Samsung Electronics America, Florida Circuit Court, 15th Judicial
District, Palm Beach County.
