Samsung says all of its Galaxy Note 7 devices should be turned off as it looks into fresh reports of smartphones catching fire.
All sales of the phone have been stopped.
This follows Samsung's recall of 2.5 million Note 7s in September after customers complained they were exploding.
Samsung later insisted replacement phones were safe.
But new devices have since been reported to have started smoking.
Samsung shares fell sharply in Tuesday trading.
Technology reporter Will Guyatt says it's a huge blow for the company.
