The product, in the report: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7” Wi-fi
Samsung Tab 3’s caught on fire in my daughter’s room and injured my daughter who is already fighting a life threatening illness, Samsung and Best Buy do not seem to care. I plugged my daughter’s Samsung tablet in to charge (it was dead) around 8:30 am. My daughter, age 10 came home from school and smelled something burning in the hallway. She went to investigate around 4-4:30pm. She found her tablet charging and smoking. She immediately unplugged it from the wall. She unplugged the charger from device, the metal had melted. It burned her – she dropped it onto her bedding which in turn burned her bedding.
