Default FAA warns passengers not to use certain Samsung phone on planes

FAA warns passengers not to use Samsung smartphone after reports of devices catching fire.

First time I think I've heard this type of warning related to smartphones.

"U.S. aviation safety officials took the extraordinary step late Thursday of warning airline passengers not to turn on or charge a new-model Samsung smartphone during flights following numerous reports of the devices catching fire.

The Federal Aviation Administration also warned passengers not to put the Galaxy Note 7 phones in their checked bags, citing "recent incidents and concerns raised by Samsung" about the devices. It is extremely unusual for the FAA to warn passengers about a specific product."
