Watch: Burning Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in Burger King goes viral

A video went viral on YouTube showing a Burger King employee, wearing gloves, struggling with a burning Galaxy Note 7, most likely trying to get the device away from the restaurant.

It was uploaded on October 8, two days before the company announced a global halt to production and exchanges for the Note 7.  At the time of writing, the video was viewed over 1 million times. 

However, no information has been shared about the video. We are not sure if this is an old device or a replaced ‘Safe’ device.

Samsung announced on September 2 a global recall of 2.5 million Note 7s in 10 markets including the United States due to faulty batteries causing some of the phones to catch fire.

Recently, a Southwest Airline flight was evacuated earlier this week after a replacement model Note 7 smartphone began smoking inside the plane, according to the family who owns the phone.

Samsung earlier said it was investigating reports of "heat damage issues" and would share its findings when the investigation is complete. "If we determine a product safety issue exists, Samsung will take immediate steps approved by the CPSC (US Consumer Product Safety Commission) to resolve the situation," Samsung told Reuters in a statement.
