E-Cig Explosion Leaves Atlanta Man Seriously Burned, Spurs Potential E-Cigarette Explosion Lawsuit Cases

June 24, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Marc Freund commented on a recent development in an Atlanta, Georgia suburb, where a local man sustained serious burns after his e-cigarette exploded in his pocket. Attorney Freund wishes the man a speedy recovery and hopes after the victim is treated for his injuries, he seeks legal justice for the injuries he sustained from the defunct e-cigarette. Freund notes that manufacturers and retailers of e-cigarettes have a responsibility to inform potential consumers of the known dangers of their offerings.

As indicated in a local report from WSBTV.com a south Fulton County man sustained second and third-degree burns after his e-cigarette batteries exploded and ignited in his pocket. The victim’s wife claimed “He was not even smoking it. He was not smoking his device at all.” This is not the first time that a victim has been inflicted with significant injuries by an e-cig explosion in their pocket.

In a similar incident in Kentucky earlier this year, a man claimed that spare e-cig batteries exploded in his pocket while he was in a convenience store. Luckily another customer quickly transported the man to a local hospital. Regrettably, the man sustained third-degree burns, and his treatment required a skin grafting surgical procedure to repair the skin on his leg.

Typical injuries sustained in e-cigarette explosions include burns, cuts, lacerations, and in some severe cases, blindness, and severed limbs. According to an extensive e-cig explosion timeline formulated by TheProductLawyers.com, there have been 199 e-cigarette explosions since 2009. This explosion was the second explosion in Georgia in 2016 and was the fourth reported e-cig explosion in the state since 2009. Additionally, over 80 percent of the total number of reported e-cigarette explosions occurred from January 2014 to today.
