Samsung's exploding Smartphones and washing machines.
In an article titled, " U.S. Announces Recall of Samsung Washing Machines," the Wall Street Journal reports that the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of 2.8 million top loader washing machines.  There were 700 reports of washers blowing themselves apart while in use, and in some cases causing injury consumers.  This recall affects 34 top-loading models that have been sold at various stores throughout the US since 2011, and the company has faced a few lawsuits regarding this issue. The same article also highlights problems with Samsungs galaxy note 7 phone which has been known to spontaneously combust.  The company diagnosed the problem to be a faulty battery that could ignite while in use.
