Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20170125-01DF5-2147407677. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Samsung Galaxy S7. Incident: The back camera glass shattered. There are numerous reports on line of this happening with the Samsung Galaxy S7 phone. I sent it to Samsung for repair since the phone had been a protective case and was never dropped. However Samsung says the glass was not defective and is charging $70.21 to fix the phone. Because the phone was not dropped or anything pushed into the glass cover it is a flaw in the device. And with so many people having this issue needs to be investigated. The broken glass could cause injury to the user.
