Samsung has decided to recall Galaxy Note 7 devices in Saudi Arabia and has also stopped sales of the product in the kingdom, the company said in a statement.
It said: "We have collaborated with the Ministry of Commerce and Investment in Saudi Arabia to announce this recall in order to get to all the consumers in the shortest time possible."
The announcement follows recently reported cases of the new Galaxy Note7 with a battery cell issue.
However, Samsung said: "To date (as of September 1) there have been no recorded cases in Saudi Arabia, and only very few cases that have been reported globally and we are currently conducting a thorough inspection with our suppliers to identify possible affected batteries in the market."
Customers who already have bought Galaxy Note7 devices, the company offered full refund of the retail price of SR2,899. Buyers have been asked to contact 8002474357 in order to know where to return the device.
"We acknowledge the inconvenience this may cause in the market but this is to ensure that Samsung continues to deliver the highest quality products to our customers," the statement said. - TradeArabia News Service
