Summary CAAC would outlaw the use and charging of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones aboard flights from September
BEIJING (Reuters / AFP) - The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said on Wednesday that it will not allow Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones to be taken on board flights from Oct. 27.
The CAAC has said that it would outlaw the use and charging of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones aboard flights from September 14.
The South Korean electronics giant has recalled all Note 7 phones, including replacements, following reports of exploding batteries and fires, which have led to numerous injuries. Samsung has also stopped producing the flagship handset.
But it remained unclear how many consumers have continued using the phones despite the recall and warnings from safety officials to stop using them.
