Since the infamous Galaxy Note 7 recall two years ago, a phone Samsung pretends it never existed, we didn’t have any battery incidents involving Samsung handsets. Samsung revised its quality assurance process for batteries after the recall, reassuring customers that battery fires will be a thing of the past. Most recently, Samsung Mobile chief DJ Koh told reporters that the Galaxy Note 9’s battery is safe. But it had to happen sooner or later. A Samsung phone supposedly caught fire inside a woman’s purse, and it happened to be the brand new Galaxy Note 9. The woman, real estate agent Diane Chung, already sued Samsung, according to the NYPost. The phone “became extremely hot” on September 3rd, while Chung was in an elevator, court documents show. She placed the handset in her bag, and then “she heard a whistling and screeching sound, and she noticed thick smoke” from her purse. She put the bag on the elevator floor and tried to empty it, burning her fingers in the processes. “Extremely panicked,” Chung started smashing elevator buttons, as the thick smoke made it hard to see.
