What was just banned from all U.S. airlines?

Answer: Samsung Galaxy Note7

If you haven’t heard, Samsung’s new phone — the Galaxy Note7 — has been blowing up (literally). Several reports have surfaced about the phone and the faulty battery that causes it to catch fire.

And that flaw, so to speak, is precisely why the U.S. Department of Transportation announced on Oct. 14 that all Samsung Galaxy Note7 devices will be considered a forbidden hazardous material and banned on all airplanes. Also good news: Samsung recently announced that it is discontinuing production of the troubled smartphone.
