Galaxy 7 Phone

Due to incidents of fires galore, Samsung will not produce these phones anymore. During recharging, the battery ignites. Some airlines will not allow them on flights. This phone can get as hot as an engine for a rocket. Can you imagine one of these burning in your pocket? Even with replacements, the results were still the same. Plug in the device, and it bursts into flame. This has been a bad blow for the Samsung Company. If you bought one of these phones, you have my sympathy. From a news story found on CNN.com.

You have written this so well, Robert. I was on a flight to Brazil a while back and they asked the passengers to give in their Samsung 7 phones. Quite scary, indeed. Liked your line about it combusting in the pocket. Imagine that! Thanks for your kind comment on my latest poem. :)

A very clever rhyme Robert ...It's a PR disaster for the company. I know the phones are not allowed on flights from our little Island. My phone is about 5 years old and just text's and calls I'm so glad I don't hanker after the latest gadgets. So lovely to see you back on soup again Robert:-) hugs jan xx
