Samsung issues fire-proof boxes to customers for Note 7 returns

After multiple suffering multiple burns and explosions, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has finally been pronounced dead. The company has asked users to return their purchased Note 7’s to receive their refund.

But how exactly does one return the equivalent of a miniature bomb? Airline security agencies across the world have already put the Note 7 on the no-fly list, so the smartphones will have to be returned via ground mail. In addition the company is pulling no  punches this time, and they’re taking every precaution.

YouTube channel XDA Developers posted a video yesterday showing off Samsung’s return kit for the Galaxy Note 7. It consists of a thermal-insulated box to pack the device, a pair of gloves to keep yourself self while doing that, and a list of detailed instructions on how best to pack and ship the Note 7. Of course, the gloves don’t seem to be insulated themselves, so we’re guessing Samsung tapped out their emergency budget with the fire-proof packaging.

The boxes themselves are specifically for shipping damaged/defective lithium ion batteries, so hopefully there won’t be any more incidents when the millions of flammable Galaxy Note 7s are en route.
