Samsung Hits Pause on Fiery Galaxy Note 7

Amid reports of phones catching on fire, Samsung is temporarily stopping production of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, a source tells the Wall Street Journal. The tech giant initiated a recall and sent out replacement phones after the fire problems first started to surface, but then those phones reportedly started overheating and catching fire as well. Samsung hasn't confirmed those reports, but on Friday released a statement promising to investigate the issue. On Sunday, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile said they would no longer give customers replacement Galaxy Note 7 smartphones when the recalled phones were turned in. Customers can instead get a refund or a different smartphone, depending on their carrier. (More Samsung stories.)
