E-Cig Explosion Lawsuit Filed After Severe Injuries Sustained, As Other Potential E-Cigarette Lawsuit Cases Arise

July 18, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on an e-cigarette explosion that occurred in Albany, NY on May 19th. A WTVR.com news story stated that the victim suffered severe burns, lost several of his teeth, and sustained a punctured hole in his tongue when his e-cig allegedly exploded. WTVR.com also reported that the victim muffled speech and could not speak well as a result of the incident. A subsequent report by the local NBC affiliate station, WNYT.com, stated that the victim filed a lawsuit on June 22nd. The victim’s legal representation is surmising that the lithium-ion battery was to blame for the explosion.

In addition to this particular case, the sixth e-cig-related explosion since 2009, there have been other lawsuits filed in New York State recently. The first e-cigarette case was filed not long after a young man from Brooklyn sustained severe burns and lost eyesight in his left eye as a result of an explosion on April 5th. The 14-year-old boy was holding an e-cig at the Kings Plaza Mall at a kiosk which an employee plugged in when the device allegedly exploded in his hand. This case is on-going and the teen and his father have hired Attorney Marc Freund of LipsigLawyers.com to represent them.

Attorney Freund has extended best wishes and hopes for a fast recovery from the injuries suffered from the May 19th explosion.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has stated that the most likely culprit in the explosions is the faulty lithium-ion batteries. FEMA maintains this position due to the unstable lithium-ion battery core, which is subject to a very strong overload of energy. When such an overload occurs, because of the instability of the battery, this can cause an explosion along with a possibility of flames which have occurred in many instances.
