Samsung Issues 'Fire-Proof' Boxes for Returning Note 7s
Now that Samsung has ceased production of its fire-prone Note 7, the company is arranging for the return of all the potentially hazardous smartphones.To do so safely and in compliance with government regulations, and presumably to prevent igniting any mail or courier trucks, Samsung is providing customers who bought their phones from the company's website with the option to receive a pre-paid fireproof box.The people behind XDA Developers, a site dedicated to coders who focus on cellphone software, have posted a YouTube video showing the box that they received.The return kit, according to the video, includes the "thermally insulated box," gloves for handling the device and detailed instructions.
