Ulanoff: If This Is a New Phone that Caught Fire, Samsung ‘Has a Bigger Problem’ with Production

‘This is just a disaster for Samsung’

ULANOFF: "I mean, they’re literally going out of their way to warn people because they are extremely nervous about this because it seems so unpredictable but then Samsung just assured us that everything is fine now and they’ve basically got more than 60 percent of the phones back in their hands. Everybody knows about the warning. This is supposed to be a new device and I think that is where the real concern comes in because if it turns out to be that, and we honestly don’t know yet — Samsung has said they still have to get the phone in their hands to know. But if it turns out to be a new device, they have a much bigger problem in the production pipeline."
