Another Samsung Galaxy Note 7 had spontaneously exploded, this time inside a jeep in St. Peterburgh, Florida.
Nathan Dornacher and his family had returned home from a yard sale when the Samsung smartphone set alight. He left his Galaxy Note 7 inside the car to charge up with the air conditioning running, while he brought inside the house his newly purchased desk. But when he returned to his car, it was in flame. Dornacher's family including his wife and 8-year old daughter were in the car just minutes before.
Firemen were able to contain the blaze, which tore through the Dornacher family jeep.
On Facebook, Dornacher did say that he while he wasn't positive that the Note 7 was the cause of the fire, "all signs are pointing that way." He also posted on Facebook that "Samsung has blown me off after over a hour on the phone this morning. Never called back as promised. Guess it is time to get a lawyer. You had your chance."
Samsung told local media in Florida that it is aware of the incident and is "working with Mr. Dornacher to investigate his case and ensure we do everything we can for him."
The news comes as Samsung Galaxy Note 7 owners were told not to switch-on or recharge their devices during commercial airline flights.
Samsung has urged customers to return their devices, which have a known fault with the Lithium-ion battery.
Angry social media users have shared photographs of charred smartphones, complaining the devices had burst into flames while charging.
