UK Woman Narrowly Escapes From E-Cigarette Explosion Fire, As E-Cig Explosion Lawsuit Case Total Rises

July 15, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Marc Freund recently provided commentary on a development in West Sussex County, UK, where a local woman’s e-cigarette exploded while charging, setting her home ablaze. Attorney Freund urges other e-cigarette users to be more careful when charging devices and maintains that in most cases future potential users are unaware of the threat their “harmless” device presents. Freund notes that as the devices have grown in popularity, the number of explosions has risen similarly, leaving a multitude of e-cig users suffering and in pain.

According to a news report from the West Sussex County Times, a local woman luckily avoided serious injuries after her e-cigarette exploded while charging. The incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday, July 10th, shortly after which, the Arundel woman was woken by her smoke detector. A West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service Commander outlined the accident claiming that “when the charger exploded the hot components scattered across the room and scorched the lady’s soft furnishing.”

The local fire department was able to subdue the flames, limiting the extent of fire damage to the victim’s home. Since the accident, local authorities have issued a warning to the public, stating that individuals should only purchase e-cigarettes from reputable retailers. This warning was sparked by this most recent explosion, due to the exploding e-cigarette in question coming from a local market stall without proper packaging, warnings, or instructions.

This explosion marks the 39th e-cigarette explosion in England, and the 56th reported e-cig related incident in Europe to date as reported by TheProductLawyers.com. Additionally, this marks the 84th e-cigarette explosion in 2016 thus far, and the 5th such incident in July of 2016 alone. A substantial amount of e-cigarette explosion victims have been injured in similar incidents. Typical injuries include burns, cuts, and in rare cases visual impairment, and severed limbs. Moreover, there have been a great deal of e-cig explosions that have resulted in house fires, in fact, most of those cases included far more extensive property damage.
