Idaho Witnesses First E-Cigarette Explosion As E-Cig Lawsuit Cases Continue To Be Filed

July 26, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on a news story by Local News 8 about an April 13th explosion of an e-cigarette that sent a local Idaho Falls, Idaho man to the hospital to be treated for 3rd-degree burns. The man’s e-cig exploded in his pocket and proceeded to emit white flames causing the burns to his body. The victim stated that he started using e-cigs because he thought they were safer than regular cigarettes which he had smoked for 12 years. It is reported that after the incident he stated that he wished he had never started using the e-cig that sent him to the hospital. This is the first e-cig explosion to happen in the state of Idaho.

Attorney Marc Freund of Lipsig, Shapey, Manus, & Moverman commented on the Idaho explosion. He is hopeful that the victim will make a full and complete recovery from his injuries. Freund also believes that as the popularity of e-cig use increases the number of explosions will increase as well.

Additionally, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has released information regarding the number of explosions that have occurred from 2009 to 2014. The agency’s data depicts that only 25 explosions have occurred. However, the information compiled by TheProductLawyers.com in its detailed timeline of explosions shows the number more realistically being 199 explosions. Some states such as California and Arizona have experienced 10 such episodes since 2009. The timeline also clearly shows that the rate at which the explosions are occurring has risen. In 2013 there were only 28 as compared to 47 in 2015, and 77 explosions reported in 2016 already.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman are currently looking to assist those who have been affected by explosive e-cigarettes. Attorneys such as Marc Freund are working to ensure that those individuals who have been injured by the devices are able to explore their legal rights fully. Certain individuals may be entitled to financial compensation. Attorney Freund is currently offering free consultations to anyone who has been injured by the devices.
