Samsung Galaxy Note 7 replacements hit shelves Sept 21

Samsung said on Thursday, September 15 that replacement devices for the Galaxy Note 7 will be available on September 21 in the United States, Engadget reports.

This news comes as the U.S. consumer safety group officially recalled the product, a move that Samsung already made a few weeks earlier.

The company recalled the Galaxy Note 7 after reports of the battery overheating and, in some cases, exploding. It's been a tough few weeks for the company since, as it lost a huge amount of market value and had to suffer such indignities as the NYC MTA telling consumers not to use the phone on the subway and the FAA warning against using the Note 7 on airplanes.
