Samsung has reportedly admitted responsibility after a two-month-old Galaxy S25 Plus exploded while charging overnight in Indiana in November 2025. The phone suffered a confirmed thermal runaway, causing a fire, property damage and smoke inhalation that sent the family to the ER.
According to the user, Samsung agreed to reimburse the phone, cover medical bills and pay for cleaning and restoration, plus $500 per family member for “pain and suffering.” The family feels this compensation insufficient, citing potential long-term health and psychological impacts. The case appears isolated, with no evidence of a widespread Galaxy S25 battery issue, though a few other S25-related fire reports have surfaced.
