Samsung Electronics says won't sell refurbished Note 7s in the U.S.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tech giant Samsung Electronics (KS:005930) Co Ltd will not be offering any refurbished Galaxy Note 7 smartphones for sale or rent in the United States, the company told Reuters.

Samsung said on Monday it would sell refurbished versions of the Note 7, which were permanently pulled from markets globally last year roughly two months after their launch due to fire-prone batteries, in some markets without providing specifics.
