Update On Albany E-Cigarette Explosion: Victim Files E-Cig Explosion Lawsuit For Damages

June 28, 2016 – – Marc Freund of LipsigLawyers.com recently commented on a new development in Albany, where a victim of an e-cigarette explosion in late May has recently filed a lawsuit. Freund wishes the victim the best of luck in his recently filed case and hopes that the man has been able to make a speedy, complete recovery from the injuries he sustained in the alleged May e-cig explosion.

A prior news report from WTVR.com claimed that the Albany, New York resident was using his e-cigarette when it allegedly exploded in his face, knocking out his teeth, puncturing a hole in his tongue and causing severe burns to his hands. The report also indicated that the victim was not able to speak eloquently and spoke through understandable yet muffled speech. An update on the case by WNYT.com, a local NBC affiliate, stated that the victim filed a lawsuit on June 22nd, following the alleged device malfunction that occurred on May 19th. The victim’s lawyer claims that they suspect the alleged explosion was a result of the user’s defunct lithium-ion battery.

FEMA has previous clarified their belief that the lithium-ion batteries are the likely cause of most e-cigarette explosions. Their belief stems from the instability of the lithium-ion core, and the strong potential for an energy overload, which victim’s see as an explosion often times accompanied by a resulting fire.

This is the among several e-cigarette explosion lawsuit cases that have been filed in New York within the last month and is the sixth e-cigarette explosion in New York since 2009. The first New York e-cigarette explosion lawsuit case filed in June came shortly after a teenage boy from Brooklyn sustained severe burns, and lost sight in his left eye on April 5th. The alleged explosion occurred while the 14-year-old boy was sampling an e-cig at a mall kiosk at Kings Plaza Mall. The victim’s father hired attorney Marc Freund to represent his son, and the lawsuit is on-going.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus, & Moverman are currently offering complimentary legal consultations to all e-cig explosion victims. Marc Freund and the law firm maintain that all victims should be granted extensive legal support during their time of need. Freund believes that all e-cigarette explosion victims deserve the opportunity to completely evaluate their legal options, and notes that some victims may be entitled to financial compensation.
