Samsung shares fell sharply on Monday, hitting a two-month low after the firm urged users not to use its flagship Note 7 phone and exchange the device due to fears it might catch fire.<\/p>\n
The South Korean company’s shares dropped more than 6% on Monday.<\/p>\n
Samsung recalled 2.5 million phones last week after reports of the device exploding during or after charging.<\/p>\n
Airline passengers were warned by US authorities not to use or charge the phones while on board.<\/p>\n
Aviation authorities in several other countries and individual airlines have since then also banned the use of the devices on their flights.<\/p>\n
