Here’s How to Return Your Galaxy Note 7
By now, you should want to get rid of your Galaxy Note 7 as quickly as possible or run the risk of it exploding. Read on to learn how to return your phone.

Whether you have turned on the news, talked to your friends, or have been on an airplane lately, you know that the Galaxy Note 7 is dangerous. The Samsung phone has been making headlines lately due to its damaged lithium ion batteries overheating to the point of eventually exploding. This problem has cost Samsung an estimated $3 billion in losses through returns and exchanges. However, Galaxy Note 7 owners can’t just head to their local store to give back their cell phone. Instead, Samsung has set up their own recall kit.

Samsung has sent out heat-resistant recall kits to its customers who have purchased a Galaxy Note 7. If you received one of these kits, you know that Samsung is not messing around with its return process. The kit consists of four separate boxes. The box that the phone is supposed to go in is even thermally insulated. Make sure that you wear the provided protective gloves while you are packing up your explosively defective device.

The recall kit even says on its outermost box that it is forbidden to transport the Galaxy Note 7 by aircraft. If you have taken a flight recently, during the instructions to switch your phone to “airplane mode” your flight attendant will have said “turn your Galaxy Note 7 off completely.”

Once you have returned your Galaxy Note 7 and have received your new phone, download PowerPRO by PSafe.

If your Galaxy Note 7 has been affected by this recall, please return it as quickly as possible. Do not take it on an aircraft and do not keep it in your home. Return it to Samsung and treat yourself to a new device!
