California Teen Hospitalized After E-Cig Explosion, Feasible E-Cigarette Explosion Lawsuit Cases Materialize

June 30, 2016 – – Attorney Marc Freund of LipsigLawyers.com referenced a development from late April in California, where a local 17-year-old sustained severe injuries when his e-cigarette exploded in his face during use. Freund wishes the boy a speedy recovery and encourages the 17-year-old to pursue legal justice for his damages. Attorney Freund notes that incidents to underage smokers are especially disheartening because the victims shouldn’t be able to purchase or use the devices in the first place.

According to a local report from PasoRoblesDailyNews.com, a local teen was in the car with his friends, when all of a sudden his e-cig exploded in his face as he was using it. The explosion cracked one of the windows of the car, knocked out many of the victim’s bottom teeth, and blew a hole in his tongue. Shortly after the incident, emergency crews arrived at the scene on the 1900 block of Cottonwood Road and transported the teen to Twin Cities Community Hospital. Upon arrival, the victim was airlifted to Fresno Regional Medical Center for proper care in their burn unit.

Incidents of this nature have become more and more common within the last 2.5 years, according to a detailed timeline of e-cigarette explosions provided by TheProductLawyers.com. Moreover, the rate of occurrence has risen even more dramatically in 2016 alone. Since 2014, there have been 162 reported e-cigarette explosions, 85 of which occurred in 2014, and 2015, and 77 incidents have already occurred in 2016. Furthermore, California has had the highest number of e-cigarette explosions in any state since 2009. With 19 such incidents in the state, California’s total represents nearly 15 % of all U.S. reported e-cig explosions to date.
