Irish Samsung customers can swap ‘fire-risk’ Galaxy Note7 phone

Irish Samsung customers can now exchange their Galaxy Note7s for a replacement phone, as the company announced the beginning of its exchange programme.

Sales and shipments of the Note 7 were stopped on September 2 when the company received reports of exploding batteries.

Vice president of IT & mobile Samsung electronics for the UK & Ireland Conor Pierce said the “absolute priority is the safety of our customers — that’s why we are asking all Galaxy Note7 customers to act now and exchange today”.
