You’d think things couldn’t get worse for Samsung Electronics. About one month ago the company issued a recall of 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 devices after consumers complained about devices exploding. Replacement phones with new batteries were supposed to fix the problem—but a recent accident on a Southwest airline suggests even this second batch of phones might be faulty. A second recall—unheard of in the industry—might be imminent.

If infamy led directly to profitability, 4chan would be rich. Unfortunately for the site, the opposite might be true.

Unlike the phones that shipped in other markets, some of which have caught fire, Samsung has yet to find any battery safety issues for the Galaxy Note 7 devices it sent to China. So its worldwide recall of the phone doesn’t include China. That has created some backlash to Samsung among Chinese consumers, who complain that the company doesn’t value the safety of customers there as much as other parts of the world.

A company with unglamorous roots is on track to make the biggest IPO of the year.

A second fatality allegedly involving Tesla’s Autopilot feature was recently reported in China, and it has some striking similarities to Tesla’s deadly Florida crash.

After Samsung’ recall of the Galaxy Note 7 spooked investors and airlines, it seemed the one bright spot for the Korean company amidst the chaos might be China. Samsung wasn’t expected to have to recall phones in the world’s largest consumer market because it used a different battery supplier there, ensuring it could still make money in China even as it was losing it elsewhere.

Apple wants consumers to pay for things using their fingers. Google and Amazon want consumers to pay with their faces. Alibaba is looking elsewhere.
