“Just days after Samsung began replacing defective Galaxy Note 7s due to a risk of exploding batteries, the company faces another major product issue,” Billy Steele reports for Engadget.
“The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a warning today after multiple reports of top-loading washing machines exploding,” Steele reports. “Owners of Samsung appliances in Georgia, Indiana and Texas say that they were doing a load of laundry when they heard a loud boom.”
“ABC News reports 21 people have submitted cases to the CPSC since early 2015 of washers exploding or blowing apart,” Steele reports. “One customer in Texas said the explosion had so much force it went through the wall of her garage. Samsung is also facing a class-action lawsuit in New Jersey over the issue.”
Steele reports, “Following the reports, the CPSC made the formal warning for top-loading Samsung units made between March 2011 and April 2016, but it didn’t get specific with model numbers.”
Did someone leave their Samsung Note 7 in the pocket of their jeans while trying to wash them in a Samsung Washing Machine? Who knew they had a built in inductive charger in those washers?
But then again… 😉 It’s the kind of perfect schadenfreude news that seems too good to be true. Like Xerox was with photocopying perhaps the word “Samsung” will also come to be associated to primarily meaning “an explosive incendiary device.” And future consumers will recoil in horror at the mere mention of the brand. Ah but we can dream eh?
The situation presents Apple with an opportunity to invade Samsung’s turf and start producing washing machines. Just think, thousands of new customers would go to the iTunes Store just for the wringtones.
Yeah! No !%#@ …. My take? If not for all of the unnecessary regulations, topped by MORE unnecessary regulations, with more regulations, regulating the first regulations plus more red tape and add in exorbitant taxes no wonder we can not compete price wise WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF “AMERICA” with exploding washing machines that cross our boarders free of charge. Time to CLEAN HOUSE.
Once you’re done with your Trumpian whining do you have any actual evidence that what you say is true? You’re actually complaining about too many regulations in a thread where there is obviously NOT enough regulation to keep a company from selling a defective product.
Do you think that you’d even buy an “American” washing machine considering how much it would cost due to US labor costs?
You right wing nut jobs just vomit out words without even the sense to examine them as they leave your mouth.
Put the job-killing regulation industry out of business.
Ensure that we keep jobs and wealth in America.
End the radical regulations that force jobs out of our communities and inner cities. We will stop punishing Americans for working and doing business in the United States.
Issue a temporary moratorium on new agency regulations – to give our American companies the certainty they need to reinvest in our community, get cash off of the sidelines, start hiring again, and expanding businesses. We will no longer regulate our companies and our jobs out of existence.
Cancel immediately all illegal and overreaching executive orders.
Eliminate our most intrusive regulations, like the Waters of The U.S. Rule. We will also scrap the EPA’s so-called Clean Power Plan which the government estimates will cost $7.2 billion a year.
Eliminate burdensome regulations that are not necessary, do not improve public safety, needlessly kill jobs, and increase the size of our already bloated government after a thorough agency review.

UNLEASHING AMERICA’S PROSPERITY TO CREATE JOBS AND INCREASE WAGES
Donald J. Trump’s Economic Vision To Break Up The Rigged System In Washington And Empower Every American To Succeed
(New York, NY) August 8th, 2016 – Donald J. Trump today unveiled his plan to revitalize America’s economy in a policy speech at the Detroit Economic Club, focused on providing the tools to every American to succeed economically.
Donald J. Trump promised to unleash the American economy to spur faster growth and benefit every American. Mr. Trump’s economic vision will unleash the power and productivity of US business and entrepreneurship, bringing prosperity, creating jobs and improving the lives of working families.
In contrast, Hillary Clinton wants to defend those already benefitting from the status quo by raising taxes by over $1 trillion, increasing the size of our already bloated government and adding more burdensome regulations. Clinton’s plans will continue to keep a boot on the neck of our economy.
“Today we begin a great national conversation about economic renewal for America – it’s a conversation about how to Make America Great Again for everyone, and especially those who have the very least,” said Mr. Trump. “The other party has reached backwards into the past to choose a nominee from yesterday – who offers only the rhetoric of yesterday, and the policies of yesterday.We are going to look boldly into the future, and with new leadership – and new solutions we will get new results.”
Below please find the policy highlights from each of the four pillars of today’s speech:
Tax Reform
Benefit working families while ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share.
Dramatically reduce taxes for everyone and streamline deductions, presenting the biggest tax reform since Reagan.
Exclude childcare expenses from taxation.
Limit taxation of business income to 15% for every business, from freelancers to the Fortune 500.
Make our corporate tax globally competitive and the United States the most attractive place to invest in the world.
End the death tax.
Trade Reform
Renegotiating NAFTA (or walk away if we have to).
Stopping the TPP.
Bringing trade relief cases to the World Trade Organization.
Labeling China a currency manipulator.
Applying tariffs and duties to countries that cheat.
Directing the Commerce Department to use all legal tools to respond to trade violations.
Entering into no trade deal unless it increases our economic growth and strengthens our manufacturing base.
Regulatory Reform
Issue a temporary moratorium on new agency regulations.
Require each federal agency to prepare a list of all of the regulations they impose on American business, and rank them from most critical to health and safety to least critical. Least critical regulations will receive priority consideration for repeal.
Remove bureaucrats and replace them with experts who know how to create jobs.
Repeal and replace Obamacare (will be outlined in-depth in a future speech).
Initiate targeted review for regulations that inhibit hiring. These include:
The Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan, which forces investment in renewable energy at the expense of coal and natural gas, raising electricity rates.
The EPA’s Waters of the United States rule, which gives the EPA the ability to regulate the smallest streams on private land, limiting land use.
The Department of Interior’s moratorium on coal mining permits, which put tens of thousands of coal miners out of work.
Energy Reform
Rescind all the job-destroying Obama executive actions including the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule.
Save the coal industry and other industries threatened by Hillary Clinton’s extremist agenda.
Ask Trans Canada to renew its permit application for the Keystone Pipeline.
Make land in the Outer Continental Shelf available to produce oil and natural gas.
Cancel the Paris Climate Agreement (limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius) and stop all payments of U.S. tax dollars to U.N. global warming programs.
Lift restrictions on American energy, which will increase GDP annually by $100 billion, create 500,000 new jobs and increase wages by over $30 billion over the next 7 years.

The following is not recommended for small children or those who are easily frightened.
In January of 2014, only a few months before their clothes washers began exploding, Samsung made this Internet of Things proposal to their customers. WARNING! This article may shock some readers:
The FAA will soon require that airline passengers keep their Samsung washing machines off during flight. For some international flights, the machines may be banned altogether.
I bought LG just because i dislike Damsung now i am vindicated. I love my LG washer and dryer. But my robot vac is a samsung. I hope that it wont burn MY place down, i thought if samsung is gojng to be in my house ill have it crawling on its belly like a snake and suck up my crumbs
I have a Samsung Refrigerator/Freezer that works just fine and has for many years. That said, I will not be buying any more Samsung stuff and have not for some time.
The aptly named SamSplode does it again! Never has choosing their brand been more life threatening. Avoid at all costs.
Please for the love of God, only operate your Samsung phone, er washing machine on the “delicates” setting.
Handle it like there’s nitro glycerin inside, because there probably is…
Did someone leave their Samsung Note 7 in the pocket of their jeans while trying to wash them in a Samsung Washing Machine? Who knew they had a built in inductive charger in those washers?
If it was close to April 1st, this story is so hilariously ridiculous that I’d suspect it was a joke. Even Samsung could not be THIS bad…! 🙂
But then again… 😉 It’s the kind of perfect schadenfreude news that seems too good to be true. Like Xerox was with photocopying perhaps the word “Samsung” will also come to be associated to primarily meaning “an explosive incendiary device.” And future consumers will recoil in horror at the mere mention of the brand. Ah but we can dream eh?
I was certainly checking the date!
You just can’t make this stuff up. You almost had it right MDN, washing machines not dishwashers. 😄
Those are likely next.
The situation presents Apple with an opportunity to invade Samsung’s turf and start producing washing machines. Just think, thousands of new customers would go to the iTunes Store just for the wringtones.
To hell with North Korea, its South Korea we should be worried about 😄
They are the enemy inside. They have infiltrated so many houses . Forget about sanctions to North Korea. Begin sanctions to Samscum.

Make America great again…let’s build our own washing machines.
Yeah! No !%#@ …. My take? If not for all of the unnecessary regulations, topped by MORE unnecessary regulations, with more regulations, regulating the first regulations plus more red tape and add in exorbitant taxes no wonder we can not compete price wise WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF “AMERICA” with exploding washing machines that cross our boarders free of charge.

Samsung Indifferent About Exploding Washing Machines
The following is not recommended for small children or those who are easily frightened.
In January of 2014, only a few months before their clothes washers began exploding, Samsung made this Internet of Things proposal to their customers. WARNING! This article may shock some readers:
Samsung wants to bring together your phone, watch, TV, and washing machine
It’s called Samsung ‘Smart’ Home…
🙀 😱 🙀 😱 😿
Aaaaaand we have another Samsung S7 Edge explosion. It happened in a town call “Painesville”. Watch the news report – Samsung is cooked.

Now thats KARMAAA!!
The FAA will soon require that airline passengers keep their Samsung washing machines off during flight. For some international flights, the machines may be banned altogether.
This has GOT to be a story from The Onion, right?
For gods’ sakes, ratify the Washing Machine Non-proliferation Act now!

You gotta almost feel sorry for them. Almost. This is just a comedy of errors. With tragedies.
I have a Samsung Refrigerator/Freezer that works just fine and has for many years. That said, I will not be buying any more Samsung stuff and have not for some time.
