Samsung has replaced more than 60 percent of faulty Galaxy Note 7's in the US

Samsung has revealed that it has now exchanged more than 60 percent of Galaxy Note 7's that were believed to sport a faulty battery in the United States. This news comes just two weeks after the US Consumer Product Safety Commission issued an official recall of over one million handsets in the region amid a little more than 90 reports surfacing from customers claiming that their handset had spontaneously bursting into flames while on charge.

The firm released this latest statistic six days after ‘safe' Galaxy Note 7‘s started being distributed in the region. Within the first day, the company announced that it had exchanged 130,000 of the one million affected devices. Now, however, it has reportedly removed more than 600,000 faulty handsets from circulation. Although, reports have started to emerge claiming that the replacement models are just as dangerous as their predecessors.
