Consumer Product Safety Commission Recalls 1 Million Galaxy Note 7 Phones – During a press conference, Chairman Elliot Kaye said consumers should “take advantage of this recall right away” because the phone represents such a “serious fire hazard.” Kaye said consumers should check the identifying number on the back of the phone at Samsung.com to determine whether their phone has a defective battery.

If the phone is included in the recall, which almost all phones sold in the U.S. are, customers can take the phone back to Samsung directly or to their carrier to receive a refund or a replacement phone.
