Lawsuit Filings Occur As 17-Year-Old Girl Is Hospitalized After Alleged E-Cig Explosion

May 23, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on the details of an ABC 15 news release which discusses a 17-year-old girl from Arizona who has been hospitalized after reportedly suffering severe burns following an e-cigarette explosion. The young girl has indicated that she was getting ready to use the device when it exploded, catching her clothes on fire and causing painful burns on her arms, chest, side, and hands. She told the news outlet, “I was freaking out. My teeth were chattering. I was shaking so bad. It was really really scary.”

The girl is now reportedly being treated at the Burn Unit at Maricopa Integrated Health System and was expected to be taken in for surgery on May 10th, 2016. The news release noted that “….doctors aren’t sure how it will turn out.” In a statement to the press, her mother noted, “She wants to be beautiful like most other girls and she’s afraid that’s not going to happen for her.” It has been reported that following surgery, the girl may remain hospitalized for 1-2 week’s time.

Unfortunately, this girl is not the only young victim to have reported suffering injuries following an e-cigarette explosion. A 14-year-old boy recently approached a mall’s e-cigarette kiosk in New York with friends and was looking at a product when the device allegedly blew up in his face, causing him to become blind in his left eye. Many involved in this incident were questioning why a boy so young was able to browse these smoking products, which were illegal for him to use, to begin with. The boy’s father has since pursued legal action and is seeking compensation to help with current and future medical bills for his son.

Attorney Marc Freund of Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman is working with this young boy and his father, to help them attain some sort of justice in the matter. He is helping several clients who claim to be victims of e-cigarette explosions and is also investigating these dangerous occurrences. Attorney Freund has noted that anyone who believes they were harmed following an e-cigarette explosion should take the time to investigate their legal rights in the matter. These individuals could be entitled to substantial compensation gained through legal action. At this time, Attorney Freund is also offering free legal consultations for involved parties who wish to further explore their options moving forward.
