One such incident, as reported by the NY Daily News, involves a 26-year old Richmond Hill, Queens woman who sustained 3rd-degree burns when her e-cigarette exploded in her pocket while she was driving her car. The debris from the exploding device was projected so forcefully that it became lodged into the dashboard of her automobile.

Since the explosion, the Queens woman has been unable to work and cannot walk without the assistance of a cane.
