Samsung Electronics Australia (Samsung) notes the legal action launched against it today by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) in relation to the marketing of a number of Samsung’s water resistant smartphones.

Samsung intends to defend the court proceedings brought by the ACCC.

Samsung stands by its marketing and advertising of the water resistancy of its smartphones. We are also confident that we provide customers with free-of-charge remedies in a manner consistent with Samsung’s obligations under its manufacturer warranty and the Australian Consumer Law.

Customer satisfaction is a top priority for Samsung and we are committed to acting in the best interest of our customers.
