New York City subway issues official Samsung Note7 warning
Bringing to mind the slow rolling disaster that was the hoverboard recall, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has issued an official warning against using the Samsung Note7 on the New York subway.

"MTA customers should turn off #Samsung Galaxy Note7 before entering station or boarding bus due to concerns device's battery can ignite."

The move mirrors the trend of airlines advising customers against using or charging the Samsung Note7 on flights and a series of advisories that plagued hoverboards in 2015 after many exploded due to defective batteries. In the case of the smaller Samsung Note7, the culprit is, once again, defective batteries, which have in some cases exploded, leading Samsung to issue a recall of the device.
Last week, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a warning to consumers against using the device and offered information on how consumers can exchange the device for a replacement.
During last year's hoverboard safety notice, the MTA went as far as creating new warning posters urging riders to refrain from bringing them on the subway.
Although the same measures haven't been taken yet with regard to the Samsung Note7, the MTA's warning appears to be just as serious this time.
"No reported cases of #GalaxyNote7 igniting on MTA property," read another Twitter message from the MTA on Tuesday, "but customers and employees should avoid using them."
