The company has recently experienced severe problems with their Galaxy Note 7 mobile phones. Numerous complaints about the phone catching fire while recharging the battery caused the company to issue replacement phones. However, in early October of 2016, the company announced that it had not only stopped sending replacement phones due to continued fire issues but that they have stopped production of this popular model altogether until they resolve the issue.

No comment from the company as to when the issue might be resolved or what they plan to do with the millions of phones already sold.

The company has also received thousands of complaints regarding ice maker and freezer problems with a variety of refrigerator models. There is currently a class-action lawsuit over this matter since Samsung has been unresponsive.

Samsung headquarters in the US are located in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey.
