Florida Man Alleges E-Cigarette Explosion Burns Required Skin Grafts As Others File Similar E-Cig Lawsuit Claims

May 24, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on a news story released by Fox 13 detailing allegations from a Manatee County, Florida man who is now suffering from burns and blisters. His allegations follow a reported explosion from his e-cigarette battery, which he says he was carrying in his pocket at the time. The man reportedly suffered from second-degree burns from his shin to his upper thigh. He was hoping that through sharing his story, he could prevent others from suffering the same.

The man states that he had just arrived at work on April 23, 2016, with his e-cigarette device in his pocket. He indicates that he heard, “…this hissing noise, kind of like a air can, a shooting noise.” He also states that as soon as he was able to look down, the battery was already on fire on the floor, and so was he. The news source stated that “A failed lithium-ion battery left him blistered and damaged. He had to have surgery and spend four days in a hospital bed.” The man noted that they used skin grafts from cadavers to help repair his wounds.

Unfortunately, he is not the only person who has made recent news alleging that they have been the victim of an e-cigarette explosion. A California man reports having lost his eye after a very similar incident with his e-cigarette. He, too, expressed shock at the occurrence, indicating that he had no idea an e-cigarette device could cause such damage.
