Take the Galaxy Note 7 the U.S. plane yields a fine of$ 180 and even imprisonment – Globo.com

The United States government began to consider a federal crime the act of boarding airplanes within the country carrying a Galaxy Note 7, Samsung, from this Saturday (15).

According to the press release issued on Friday (14) at the U.S. Department of Transportation, the people who take these smartphones to the aircraft will be fined$ 180 and may still be the target of criminal actions, which can result in a penalty of 10 years in prison.

The order prohibits the unit to be transported in carry-on baggage, in suitcases to be checked, or even as cargo. The airlines must still prevent the boarding of any one who has the device.

If the passenger can still get in a plane with the Galaxy Note 7, he should turn it off immediately.

Samsung has suffered setbacks with the Galaxy Note 7 since it launched the device on August 19th in 10 countries –Brazil was not on the list, neither was there any forecast for the beginning of the sales here.

That is why a few days later I circulated in the social networks user reports stating that the smartphone superaquecia and could even catch fire. Images of the device burned endossavam the stories.

The Samsung if forced to issue a recall in a global scale of 2.5 million units of the Note 7 on 2 September. Still, users who had their devices exchanged continued to report explosions. One of them was on a plane that went from Kentucky to Maryland, in the United States, when the device was in the pocket of his pants began to catch fire. The aircraft had to be evacuated.

Analysts estimate that the crisis generated by default with the Galaxy Note 7 can do more than simply scratch the image of the Samsung. A report from Credit Suisse states that the loss of south Korean may be US$ 17 billion –the calculation includes, among other data, the 19 million devices of the line that the company had in stock.

The own Samsung accused the blow, but in the intensity lower than the bet of the experts of the market. First, decreased$ 2.3 billion to the profit estimate. Then he did a new cut in the forecast of the results of the next two quarters, of$ 3.1 billion.
