Samsung Galaxy Note 7 owners can get replacement by Sept. 21

From CNET: If you're a Galaxy Note 7 owner, you're in luck -- finally. You'll be able to get your replacement within the next week.

Samsung on Thursday said new Note 7 replacement devices will be available in the US at most retail locations no later than Sept. 21.

The update came as the US Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday issued a recall for all Note 7 phones sold in the country before September 15. The group said "consumers should immediately stop using and power down the recalled Galaxy Note 7 devices" and contact the location where they purchased the devices to either get a new Note 7, a refund or a replacement device. The CPSC's notice makes it illegal to attempt to sell or resell one of the recalled Note 7 phones.

"Consumer safety is always our highest priority," Tim Baxter, president of Samsung Electronics America, said in a statement. "Our collaboration with the CPSC to fast-track a voluntary recall in the US addresses safety concerns by ensuring we reach Note 7 owners quickly to exchange their devices."
