The potential problems with the Note7 were illustrated dramatically on September 5 in St. Petersburg, Florida, where authorities are investigating whether a Galaxy Note7 caught fire while charging, igniting a man’s Jeep Grand Cherokee on fire. The problem, says the company, lies with “certain Note7 battery cells.” In South Carolina, another man’s garage was torched over Labor Day weekend; that fire is also under investigation to see whether his Galaxy Note7 was the cause.
