To recall, a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 smartphone recently spontaneously combusted inside a Long Island, New York woman’s purse. Real estate agent Diane Chung has filed a lawsuit in the Queens Supreme Court after the alleged incident earlier this month.
As per a report, she had stopped using her phone when it became ‘too hot’ and kept it inside the purse. Suddenly, she noticed a thick smoke coming out of her bag. Panicked, she threw her bag on the floor and started emptying it.
Ms Chung told the New York Post the experience was “traumatic”, it ruined everything in her bag and left her unable to contact clients.
