From CNET: If you're a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 owner, you're feeling a little deja vu right now.
That's because Samsung and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission have once again issued a recall for your phone -- even though you may have already replaced it. The notice comes two days after Samsung confirmed that it had killed off the Note 7 and warned consumers to power down and turn in their phones.
"The Galaxy Note 7 recall has proven to be a real challenge for Samsung. I am very concerned that consumers who exchanged their phones for replacement Galaxy Note 7s are now at risk again," wrote CPSC Chairman Elliot Kaye in a statement.
It's the latest chapter in the nightmare saga that is the exploding Note 7. Samsung moved quickly to recall the first batch of Note 7 phones, only to encounter incidents in which the supposedly safer replacement phones began to catch fire as well. The company has already warned the debacle will cost $2.3 billion in lost operating profits, but the bigger damage will be to its brand and credibility.
The immediate challenge for Samsung now will be to convince customers to turn in their Note 7 units. Some superfans have opted to take the risk and keep them.
