Owners of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphones should stop using the devices and turn them off because of the threat of a battery fire, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning.
The CPSC said in a statement on Friday it was working with Samsung to announce an official recall of the devices as soon as possible.
The agency said it is working quickly to determine whether a replacement Galaxy Note 7 is an acceptable remedy for Samsung or their phone carriers to provide to consumers.
