After reports of exploding batteries, Samsung issued a recall of the Galaxy Note7 on Sept. 2 in the form of an "exchange program," which allowed customers to swap out their defective devices for replacements.

The FAA released a statement last Thursday urging passengers not to turn on or plug in their Samsung Galaxy Note7 devices while traveling on airplanes, but did not officially ban the phones from aircrafts.

The safety concerns surrounding the devices couldn't have come at a worse time for Samsung. The recall came just days before Apple's launch of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus on Sept. 7.

Recalling all Note7 phones could cost Samsung around $1 billion, according to an estimate from Bloomberg.

Some analysts, however, expect the damage to be relatively limited.
