Samsung Electronics Co. is letting travelers exchange their Note 7 smartphones at special booths set up at America’s busiest airports.

The program is part of Samsung’s worldwide effort to recall millions of Galaxy Note 7 phones, which are prone to catching fire and exploding. Customers can exchange the phones or get a full refund, a company representative said in a statement. Samsung didn’t specify which U.S. airports or how many would be part of the exchange program.
