Samsung in 'exploding washing machines' probe.

Source: BBC News


I chose this story because i found it amazing that a company as big as Samsung have made such an awful mistake with several of their products. Not only have there been 'dangerous' accidents involving these washing machines, also Samsung had to recall several Galaxy notes 7's that were recently released because they had a similar problem. According to the article, Samsung have used faulty batteries which cause these products to catch fire and in some instances explode.
Burnt out Samsung galaxy note 7.

I think that the article is relevant to our course because everyone knows of Samsung and their products, most people own a Samsung product whether it be a: phone, tablet, computer or faulty washing machine. The reason everyone knows about Samsung is because we all see it everyday in the media.
