A second replacement Samsung Galaxy Note 7 device, deemed safe by the company, has caught fire in the US, US media report.<\/p>\n

Samsung has been forced to issue new models of the smartphone following complaints of faulty batteries.<\/p>\n

A man in Kentucky said he was “scared to death” when he woke to a bedroom full of smoke, local media say.<\/p>\n

It comes after another replacement Note 7 caught fire on a Southwest Airlines plane on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“The phone is supposed to be the replacement, so you would have thought it would be safe,” Michael Klering of Nicholasville, Kentucky, told local broadcaster WKYT.<\/p>\n

He added that his device was not plugged in when it caught fire at his home on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The BBC’s North America technology reporter Dave Lee says Samsung is now facing a “full-blown crisis”, adding that this latest news raises “serious questions over its obligation to protect the public”.<\/p>\n

The Note 7 was subject to a mass recall in September, but Samsung said it had identified and fixed the problem.<\/p>\n

Smoke on a plane<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Wednesday a replacement Note 7 caught fire on a Southwest Airlines plane due to fly from Louisville, Kentucky, to Baltimore, Maryland.<\/p>\n

A Southwest Airlines spokesperson told the BBC: “A customer reported smoke emitting from an electronic device. All customers and crew deplaned safely via the main cabin door.”<\/p>\n

The plane was evacuated before take-off and Samsung said it was investigating the incident.<\/p>\n

“We are working with the authorities and Southwest now to recover the device and confirm the cause,” the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Once we have examined the device we will have more information to share.”<\/p>\n

Last month the company assured customers that the fixed devices were safe.<\/p>\n
