Tech giant Samsung will not be offering any refurbished Galaxy Note 7 smartphones for sale or rent in the United States, the company told Reuters.

Samsung said on Monday it would sell refurbished versions of the Note 7, which were permanently pulled from markets globally last year roughly two months after their launch due to fire-prone batteries, in some markets without providing specifics.

Samsung (SSNLF) told Reuters in a separate statement on Monday it “will not be offering refurbished Galaxy Note 7 devices for rent or sale in the U.S.”
