Samsungs Battery Making Factory Exploded

The particular factory that deals with waste from the battery-making process for Samsung batteries. The local fire department in the area which sent at least 110 firefighters and about 19 trucks to the factory said there were no casualties, Faulty lithium ion batteries caught fire, according to the local fire department, and the factory’s overall operations weren’t significantly impacted, according to Reuters.

Which lead to a massive recall of Samsung Galaxy note 7. Which by the way Samsung blames Amperex and SDI it's battery manufacturing partners for the Samsung galaxy Note 7 problems. Over 2.5million Galaxy note 7 were recalled by the US consumer product safety commission for fire hazards by it's batteries.
