“A six-year-old boy from Brooklyn has reportedly become the latest victim of Samsung’s disastrous exploding Galaxy Note 7 batteries.

The boy had been using the device at his family home when it “suddenly burst into flames,” according to the New York Post. He was rushed to hospital with burns to his body.

Samsung issued a recall of 2.5 million of its latest flagship phone on September 2—which had only been released the previous month—after 35 reports that lithium batteries were exploding while they were being charged.

The American aviation regulator and various Australian airlines were joined by India today in asking customers not to charge or turn on their Galaxy Note 7s while in the air, even though the South Korean manufacturer has said that only a fraction of its batteries are at risk. In its recall announcement, it said that only 24 units in a million were affected.

Samsung’s shares dived sharply during Monday trading, hitting a two-month low and wiping 15.9 trillion won (£10.7 billion) off its market value.”*
