E-Cigarette Explosion Leaves Idaho Man Devastated While E-Cig Lawsuit Case Total Surges

July 26, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on data released by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regarding the number of e-cigarette explosions that have occurred from 2009 to 2014. The agency has stated that there have been 25 reported explosions during this period of time. However, TheProductLawyers.com has compiled a very detailed timeline of explosions during the same period and it states that the number of explosions is more akin to 199 reported episodes. TheProductLawyers.com also provides information showing that some states such as California and Arizona have experienced at least 10 explosions since 2009. The rate at which explosions are occurring has also gone up on a yearly basis from a total of 28 in 2013 to 47 in 2015, and 77 explosions already reported for 2016 alone.

It has recently been reported that the state of Idaho has experienced its first e-cig-related explosion. As per a report by Local News 8, an Idaho Falls man suffered second and third-degree burns after his e-cig started to burn and shoot white flames out from inside his pocket. The victim reported that he had switched to e-cigs after smoking regular tobacco-based cigarettes for 12 years. He reported he made the switch because he thought e-cigs were safer than traditional cigarettes. After the explosion, it was reported that the victim stated that he wished he had never started using the e-cigarette device that ultimately sent him to the hospital.

Attorney Marc Freund of Lipsig, Shapey, Manus, & Moverman commented on the Idaho Falls e-cig explosion. He wished the victim a speedy and complete recovery from his injuries and sends good wishes that the skin graft surgery required does not present any complications. Freund believes that as the popularity of e-cigs continues to grow, so will the frequency of the explosions.
