![Consumer Product Safety Commission Announces Recall Of Samsung's New Galaxy Note 7](https://img.money.com/2016/10/gettyimages-605913380.jpg)
*A Samsung Galaxy Note 7*

After Samsung announced it will halt production of its exploding replacement Galaxy Note 7, carriers are announcing that they will stop selling and exchanging the phone for a replacement model by the phone maker. Instead, they will only let customers exchange the dangerous phones for a different model.

[T-Mobile](https://newsroom.t-mobile.com/news-and-blogs/samsung-note7-update.htm), AT&T, and Verizon have halted sales and exchanges, [Business Insider](http://www.businessinsider.com/phone-carriers-halt-samsung-galaxy-note-7-sales-2016-10) reports. Sprint hasn't confirmed that it is halting sales of the Note 7, but it will allow customers to exchange replacement Note 7's for a different model.

Samsung issued a formal recall for the original Note 7 in September, after phones exploded, causing injury. Now, videos have surfaced of the replacement models also catching fire. It hasn't been a great summer for the company: in addition to phones, Samsung washing machines were also reported to have exploded in multiple cases.

If you have a Note 7, you should take it to your carrier immediately and exchange it.
