Amazon is apparently refunding all buyers of Note 7 phones and letting them keep the old potentially defective ones until further notice. Once the refunds are given back, it would be futile for Amazon to request and enforce that the original buyers send them back to them for shipment back to Samsung. Note that they have no exchange policy in place for replacement Note 7 phones in place so they can't even put credit card holds on anyone not returning their phone.
In my opinion, this is very reckless of them as this policy could effectively create a black market for the less morally-responsible segments of buyers to start selling these devices to people on Craigslist, eBay, Swappa, or any number of sites. In a worst-case scenario these phones can cause injuries or property damage to unknowing buyers who would be deceived by these unscrupulous sellers as they never were repaired by Samsung.
Lastly, Amazon.com has recommended by users stop using the Note 7 with the Gear VR headsets, which makes sense as you don't want a potential fire-bomb that close to your eyes. Surprising that Samsung nor any other carriers haven't released a statement about that yet...
