U.S. Government all-out bans Galaxy Note 7 from all flights starting Noon Saturday (10/15)

Mid Friday, the United States Department of Transportation issued an emergency order that all-out bans anyone carrying a Galaxy Note 7 from getting on any U.S. flights due to fire concerns.  This emergency order will go into effect on Saturday at Noon Eastern Time.

The Note 7 has been labeled a “forbidden hazardous material” under Federal Hazardous Material Regulations.

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx issued a statement, saying that “even one fire incident inflight poses a high risk of severe personal injury and puts many lives at risk.”
