When the wheels come off they well and truly come off, and Samsung find themselves in the middle of a PR nightmare.

The latest video doing the rounds is of their defective Galaxy Note 7 range catching alight, and it’s a pretty damning illustration of how bad that particular problem is.

Here’s NDTV with more on the video filmed in a Burger King in South Korea:

The video has been viewed over one million times since it was posted on the video-sharing site on Saturday, two days before Samsung announced a global halt to sales and exchanges of the Note 7…

The YouTube video, shot on a mobile phone by a customer, showed a Note 7 smouldering next to an empty food basket on a table at a Burger King outlet in the South Korean city of Incheon…

A Samsung spokeswoman confirmed that the device in the footage was a Note 7 without elaborating further.

The manager of the outlet told an online news website Wikitree that the store had requested compensation from Samsung for the damage to the table.

Talk about having to put out flames, Samsung.
