Now that Samsung has finally come clean on the cause of the Galaxy Note7 fires that spawned a global recall (http://www.greenbot.com/article/3120357/android/samsung-galaxy-note7-recall-is-official-through-the-consumer-product-safety-commission.html) and a months-long flight ban (http://www.greenbot.com/article/3131343/mobile/us-bans-samsung-galaxy-note7-from-all-flights.html), the focus can finally turn from blame to prevention.
To safeguard against future issues, Samsung has implemented an 8-point Battery Safety Check Test (https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-announces-new-and-enhanced-quality-assurance-measures-to-improve-product-safety), which “involves putting our batteries through extreme testing, inside and out, followed by careful inspection by X-ray and the human eye.” The extensive tests will be performed before all new devices that ship in an effort to create a new standard for battery safety.
