E-Cig Explosion Damages Woman’s Home Prompting Potential E-Cigarette Lawsuit Filings

June 07, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on the details of a recent electronic cigarette explosion that occurred in a woman’s home who lives in Grant Park near Atlanta. WSB-TV in Atlanta reported on her case, in which her home was nearly destroyed as the result of the e-cigarette explosion from a new device she had purchased to help change her lifestyle. She told the reporter about the loud explosion that she heard, and described the flames she saw extending across her living room from the device. Luckily, she was home at the time and was able to contain the damage from the explosion and flames, which was still significant.

Plugged into her computer’s USB port, the e-cigarette was quietly charging when the explosion occurred. The computer was located in the living room, and she was nearby. She feared that if she had left the device charging while she was out, as many people do, her home, her dogs, and her cats would all have been lost to the resulting fire. The television station broadcast her emotional account of the event, and her gratitude that the worst case scenario had not occurred.

With 3.5 million devices in users’ hands, according to trade industry estimates, there are many similarly alarming stories that are being reported in the media, concerning explosions that are happening while simply being carried or charged. A retired firefighter also found that his electronic cigarette, charging while attached to his computer, suddenly exploded without warning. Several victims, including the retired firefighter, sustained severe burns which require medical attention after experiencing such a traumatic event.

Attorney Marc Freund of Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman is looking to assist victims of e-cigarette explosions to assist them in exploring their legal options. He is currently offering complimentary consultations to affected parties and states that some individuals may be entitled to financial compensation.
