Galaxy Note 7 owners file class action suit against Samsung
A class action suit has been filed against Samsung Electronics Co. in the U.S. by consumers who were not happy with the way the tech giant dealt with its combusting Galaxy Note 7, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. The suit, filed in New Jersey federal court, alleges that Samsung's bungling of the recall cost owners of the smartphones millions of dollars and accused the company of "breach of warranty, breach of good faith and common law fraud," the newspaper said. The lawsuit, dated Oct. 16, follows on the heels of a decision by the Korean company to halt production of the Galaxy Note 7 after reports that replacement devices were also catching fire.
