Is There A Recall On The Galaxy S7? Here's All You Need to Know

When the South Korean giant phone maker first launched them, the S7 series smartphones were a breeze. However, soon after discovering the Note 7 problem in September 2016, the S7 models were majorly affected. If you still own a Samsung S7 or S7 Edge, you may want to know whether there is a recall on Galaxy S7.

Samsung has been having a recall program for their S7 and Note 7 product lines since September 2016. If you still have one of these, you may want to get a refund or replace it with another safe alternative. Luckily, you can complete this right here with DoNotPay.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission watchdog requires that any faulty products from manufacturers be recalled for replacements, repairs, or refunds.

That includes:

• Pet food
• Medical devices
• Beauty products
• Food
• Other items

The good part is that DoNotPay can also show and help you move forward with any recall using our Recall Product.

How Do I Make a Claim for the Samsung Phone Recall?

If you bought a Samsung phone, you'll first need to check whether the phone is among the category eligible for the recall program. If you're not sure, you can use our Product Recall Monitor to ascertain whether your model qualifies for recall now, and if not, you can get a notification when it does in the future.

Generally, for Samsung phones, you have two options to choose from for recalls:

To do that yourself, fill in the form on the Samsung website, but be sure you have the order number and the mail address you used to make the order. However, this procedure might be frustrating. Therefore, if you need a trusted third party to act on your behalf, you can use solutions like DoNotPay that are fast, convenient, and successful.

What Happened With the S7 Note Recall?

A few weeks after the most anticipated release of the Note 7, consumers started complaining about the overheating and even explosion of the Samsung device.

Early reports in late 2016 showed about 100 cases of overheating and exploding claims, which caused 2nd & 3rd-degree burns to users and property damage. A scenario where a device exploded while a user was aboard an airline even caused the FAA to issue a statement notifying airlines to ensure air travelers do not carry the affected devices.

Although the company was adamant at first, it finally recognized the problem, attributing it to the faulty batteries from two of its major suppliers. Afterward, it halted the production/distribution and started the recall program in September 2016, the original recalling a total of 2.5 million devices.

Additionally, the company maintained that the S7 and S7 Edge remained unaffected by the battery issue. Still, other reports indicated that some phones of this model also burst into flames, just like the Note 7. Other models were also affected; for example, a California resident claimed that his Galaxy A20e started to overheat and subsequently exploded, causing the consumers to question the safety of Samsung devices further.
