North Carolina Man Severely Burned By E-Cigarette Explosion, Possible E-Cig Lawsuit Cases Arise

June 13, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on more cases of injury resulting from electronic cigarette explosions. The Food and Drug Administration is not yet tracking statistics on adverse events from the devices, they note but is requesting that those who have experienced adverse events visit their MedWatch page to file a report detailing the incident. Many users that have experienced explosions have later stated that they were not fully aware of the risks when using electronic cigarettes. A North Carolina e-cigarette user, a resident of Sneads Ferry, states that he was unaware of the dangers due to small print on the warning label. His late-night e-cigarette break was interrupted by the unit exploding in his face, resulting in burns, pain, and temporary vision loss. The spray from the unit felt like “hot oil,” he reported, and it turns out that two ingredients in his e-cigarette “juice,” alcohol and propylene glycol, are combustible fluids. The warning on the box of his device was so small, he said, “I could hardly read it.” After experiencing an e-cigarette explosion himself, he reflects on the event stating, “I had no idea,” he says, “that it could pack a punch like that.”

A Brooklyn boy of 14, trying out an e-cigarette at a mall kiosk also experienced an e-cig explosion. He received severe burns on his hands, a ripped cornea, and his left eye may be permanently blinded by the event.

Attorney Marc Freund is currently working to assist this boy as he and his father pursue legal action, and he is working to help others who have found themselves in the same boat. Those who believe they have been harmed by an e-cigarette are greatly encouraged to explore their legal options in the matter, as they may be entitled to significant compensation. To better assist individuals who wish to investigate their rights more fully, Attorney Freund is now offering free legal consultations to qualified parties.
