I would think it'd mostly be a PR nightmare and they wouldn't be liable financially for any damages since the device has been recalled. Headlines like "Samsung device causes airplane to go up in flames" would really take a hit on Samsung's bottom line because of one of their customer's stupidity.

OTOH, "well, they said they'd use a kill-switch, and then the gadget went boom, near damn killed me" would probably be the worst-case scenario: hence the killswitch would need to be a full and complete bricking (is that even possible with current-gen devices?)
