Australia’s consumer watchdog sues Samsung for allegedly misleading consumers by promoting water-resistant Galaxy smartphones
A model demonstrates the waterproof function of Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge at its launch in Seoul, South Korea. March 10, 2016.
"The ACCC alleges Samsung's advertisements falsely and misleadingly represented Galaxy phones would be suitable for use in, or for exposure to, all types of water ... when this was not the case," ACCC Chairman Rod Sims said in a statement on Thursday.The South Korean electronics giant has spent heavily on advertising to rebuild public faith in its premium smartphones following the costly recall of its fire-prone Galaxy Note 7 devices in 2016.
Some consumers damaged their phones when exposing them to water and Samsung had refused to honour warranty claims, the ACCC said in the lawsuit, though Samsung said it complied with all of its warranty obligations under Australian law.
