The recall notice only seems to apply to people who bought the phone in America. If you change the "us" in the url of the official notice to something else, like "ca", you get a 404. http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/ http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/ Is this recall only available in the US? Is the rest of the world basically screwed, unless their own governments put some pressure on Samsung? From the FAQ: > 4. I participated in the U.S. Note7 Exchange Program. Is my replacement Galaxy Note7 affected? > Yes. This applies to all Galaxy Note7 phones _in the U.S._ (emphasis mine)

I'm not sure what you think that proves. A US URL works for the US and talks about the US? Surprising? Other countries are doing recalls too, and have pages talking about it. Here is the Taiwan URL: http://www.samsung.com/tw/news/product/galaxy-note7-announcement-1011/ http://www.samsung.com/tw/news/product/galaxy-note7-announce... Here is the Canadian URL: http://www.samsung.com/ca/note7exchange/ http://www.samsung.com/ca/note7exchange/ Here is the Australian URL: http://www.samsung.com/au/galaxynote7-notice/ http://www.samsung.com/au/galaxynote7-notice/ Here is the Chinese homepage (see the pop-out note about the Note 7 to the left): http://www.samsung.com/cn/home/ http://www.samsung.com/cn/home/ It is a global recall. You just cannot guess the URL in the way you think you should be able to.

  I see that you found the same outdated notice as me, when I googled: it refers to an exchange program, not a recall. Check out this foot-in-mouth quote: > Canadian Note7 Software Update showcases Note7 device is safe for use. At this point, I think that it is most likely that there will eventually be a global recall (how could there not be? that would be madness) but they just haven't gotten around to updating all of the other countries. Recalls are complex, I guess. But they should at least shut down the exchange program ASAP, that's just a waste of time at this point.
