To be honest, with a company as massive and diverse of Samsung, you are guaranteed to have multiple products that catch fire in one way or another. Samsung makes up 20% of South Korea's entire economy, that's the monolithic scale of Samsung.

Are you implying that it's just normal for products to catch fire? Unless we are talking about a once a century event related to cars, grills, ovens, etc, I can't say I agree.

Phones aren't supposed to catch fire. Ever. Washing machines also should never catch fire. It is not normal or okay

It's certainly not normal but it's frankly inevitable. All it takes is some fraying wire, failing insulation, manufacturing defect on the PCB or components and something slightly flammable nearby (usually the product itself). That and how much stuff people usually have plugged in, somebody is going to experience a fire eventually.

Regulations on Chinese garbage are practically non existent. There are countless cheap chargers that will start fires. One nearly caused one in my home as a kid.

And yet I doubt anyone has heard of a washer (or phone) catching fire that wasn't made by Samsung. Why are you defending them?

I'm not, it's just that a lot of electronics and particularly bad ones catch fire.

Well I'm not sure what you call a lot, but I'd expect the percentage of cheap knockoff garbage to still be pretty low but I expect a huge company like Samsung to be much, much closer to zero.
