Samsung Electronics Co. has temporarily halted production of its troubled Galaxy Note 7, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The move comes after a spate of fresh reports of overheating and fires with phones that have been distributed to replace the original devices, which also had a risk of catching fire.
In a statement Monday in Seoul, Samsung said that it was "temporarily adjusting the Galaxy Note 7 production schedule in order to take further steps to ensure quality and safety matters," without elaborating.
