Samsung asked to extend its Note7 refund program in South Korea

22 September 2016
The South Korean government has asked Samsung to extend to its Galaxy Note7 refund period, which expired this Monday, September 19. According to the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards - which oversees product safety and recalls - the company's plan to remove faulty Note7 units from the market is inadequate.

        There should be Samsung Agents, who would knock on every door and ask people if they have a faulty Note 7 or if they know about the issue.

            Internet penetration is one of the highest in South Korea so no way they are not aware of the fiasco. Do they want to keep it as memorabilia?

                  Rather than just make the battery icon green for safe ones, they should replace it with a dynamite stick for ones that need to be returned. :p

No matter what the... moreyeah but to extend the program means that a lot of ppl are not informed (thinking at least 30%) i didn't mean to say south koreans only are at fault (if it seemed that way my apologize) just curious becuz the oficial statement said "It appears that consumers are not active in seeking an exchange or a refund." so that has to be some missinformation

                          they should send the OTA to make pop the unit must be replaced every 3 hours as well (if they haven't done it yet) i do wonder how can they not be informed or why wouldn't they care for a refund/replacement?
