[12:57:20] SAVIDGE: If you have a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Smartphone, you may want to power down right about now.
In just the past week users have posted pictures of some of these phones exploding while being charged. Samsung, now recalling millions of the devices.
So let's bring if Rachel Crane. And Rachel, have they narrowed down what the problem is?
RACHEL CRANE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Martin, first of all, there have been $2.5 million of these devices sold, since they first hit the market a couple weeks ago. And so far, they have identified 35 cases of these phones either catching on fire, melting, exploding as you saw in those images. Now, Samsung has said the culprit is the lithium ion battery that powers the devices. They issued a voluntary recall that was Samsung, but now, the U.S. Government getting involved.
The consumer product safety commission put out a statement saying, "When these batteries overheat and burst, the results can be serious. This is why the U.S Consumer Product Safety Consumer is urging all consumers who own a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to power them down and stop charging or using the devices."
Also, Samsung, the manufacturer of the phone, putting on a statement saying, "Because your safety is our utmost concern, we ask you to power down your Galaxy Note 7 and exchange it now. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of the U.S. Note 7 Product Exchange Program."
So clearly Martin, a clear as day they're saying do not turn on these phones and that you can go into your local Samsung store or your local carrier and exchange the phone or get a refund. Martin?
SAVIDGE: All right Rachel Crane, thank you very much. A very serious note and spread the word if you know somebody who has a Galaxy 7.
