UN50J6300 melted and nearly caught fire today

[ColtsKeith]

Lucky I was actively watching at the time.  The screen went to white vertical lines and then blacked out.  I couldn't figure out what was wrong until I noticed the bottom-left corner of the unit was melted and smoking.

Of course, I immediately unplugged it.  Is there a recall on this?   Obviously extremely dangerous.

We have 4 other Samsung TVs in our home.  Now, I'm worried about them all.

This is unacceptable.  What can be done?

I'm sorry to hear about this issue. I suggest contacting customer service to see if a recall is active. I will also tag one of the mods; they may be able to provide some assistance. @SamsungRei @Samsung_Moderator
