speaking to Jordan Golson from The Verge<\/a>, said it was bought on 21 September.<\/p>\nBrian Green added that there was a black square icon on the device’s packaging, a symbol which Samsung added to distinguish old, certified unsafe devices from the replacement models.<\/p>\n
But late last month, after assuring customers – and safety officials – that the fixed devices were safe, Samsung confirmed it was looking into new reports that devices were still overheating.<\/p>\n
“There have been a few reports about the battery charging levels and we would like to reassure everyone that the issue does not pose a safety concern,” the South Korean firm said at the time.<\/p>\n
Mr Green said his device was powered down, not charging, when it began to overheat in his pocket.<\/p>\n
After tossing it on to the floor of the plane, it started to emit a “thick grey-green angry smoke”, according to The Verge.<\/p>\n
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had issued a warning to the public saying Note 7 devices should be powered down and not charged while on planes.<\/p>\n
It also advised against packing the phone into hold luggage.<\/p>\n
The FAA is yet to comment on whether further guidelines will be issued after this latest issue.<\/p>\n
