The recall notice only seems to apply to people who bought the phone in America. If you change the "us" in the url of the official notice to something else, like "ca", you get a 404. http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/

Is this recall only available in the US? Is the rest of the world basically screwed, unless their own governments put some pressure on Samsung?

From the FAQ:

> 4. I participated in the U.S. Note7 Exchange Program. Is my replacement Galaxy Note7 affected?

> Yes. This applies to all Galaxy Note7 phones _in the U.S._ (emphasis mine)
