Samsung Struggles To Limit Damage From Galaxy Note 7 Recall

Heated meetings, sacrificed holidays and teams monitoring social media round-the-clock to track whether there have been any new smartphone fires: Samsung Electronics is still desperately trying to limit the damage of a record global recall announced more than a month ago. Samsung said most of the fire-prone Galaxy Note 7s have been recovered in major markets, including the United States and South Korea. But the trouble is not over for either South Korea’s largest listed company or mobile division chief Koh Dong-jin, who bowed in a public apology last month, less than a year into the job.
