South Korean manufacturer Samsung makes a wide assortment of electronics: TVs, washing machines and cellphones are just a few. Unfortunately for their customers, as John Oliver was quick to point out on Sunday night's episode of Last Week Tonight, those products have all run into a bit of, well, trouble.
Everyone knows about the exploding Galaxy Note7 phones and subsequent recall, but are you aware that Samsung also recalled 2.8 million washing machines due to — get this — explosions?
Yup, exploding washing machines.
And that was all before the latest revelation from WikiLeaks alleging that the CIA has turned Samsung smart TVs into covert listening devices.
Oliver gives Samsung the chance to come clean about the various dangers allegedly posed by their products, and the resulting (fake) company video is quite a thing to behold. Not even the fitness tracker comes out unscathed.
Basically, there's a lot of fire.
