It seems like Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 and its smartphone lineup are not the only one's that has a problem with safety standards. Several reports of Samsung's washing machines are now being reported to blowing up.

On her interview with ABC News regarding the incident, she only had words that only a terrified victim can say. "It was the loudest sound. It sounded like a bomb went off in my ear," Thaxton said. "There were wires, nuts, the cover actually was laying on the floor."
