The replacement/fixed versions are also being recalled. https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-will-ask-all-global-partners-to-stop-sales-and-exchanges-of-gal

  That's not what the Verge article says. Verizon is taking back devices that they have sold, as are other carriers, but Samsung has not issued a recall of the replacement Note 7 devices. Offering refunds to customers isn't the same as issuing a formal recall of all devices. They're doing the absolute minimum they can possibly get away with and trying to sweep the 'fixed' replacement Note 7 situation under the carpet. At best they might be trying to put the replacement Note 7 non-recall recall under the umbrella of the original Note 7 recall, in order to avoid the embarrassment of issuing two formal recalls. But that's pure bullshit.

    Sorry, updated with a better link from Samsung directly.

      It's still pretty half-arsed. As I suspected, they're sweeping the recall of the replacement devices under the same recall notice. It'll be interesting to see if the CPSC accepts that.
