Louisiana Man Escapes Injury From Exploding E-Cig, As E-Cigarette Explosion Lawsuit Cases Count Rises

June 27, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Marc Freund commented on a February e-cigarette explosion that occurred in New Orleans, Louisiana, where a local man and his companions narrowly escaped injuries after his e-cig exploded in his hand. Freund notes how fortunate the man is, and emphasizes that in most cases, victims are less fortunate and often sustain injuries such as burns, cuts, lacerations and in some rare cases even blindness and severed limbs.

As reported by a local CBS affiliate WWLTV.com, a local New Orleans man was holding his e-cigarette when the device exploded in his hand, “just like a bottle rocket or a roman candle.” The victim claims that the e-cigarette launched from his hand to the ceiling, consequently, burning everything in its path. Remarkably, the victim grabbed the burning device with a towel and threw it into the street preventing further damage.

There have been 200 reported e-cigarette explosions since 2009, luckily, this is the first e-cig explosion in Louisiana. However, the prevalence of e-cigarette explosions is far more common in some states, such as in, California, Arizona, and Oklahoma. Since 2009, there have been 20 e-cig explosions in California, 11 such explosions in Arizona, and 8 e-cigarette incidents in Oklahoma making up nearly 20 % of all reported e-cigarette explosions. Furthermore, there have been 163 e-cigarette explosions since 2014, which equates to nearly 5 times more than the total number of reported explosions in the four previous years.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus, & Moverman believe that all e-cigarette explosion victims deserve proper legal advice and representation during their time of need and are offering all victims a complimentary legal consultation. Attorney Marc Freund has previously stated “It is unforgivable that these electronic cigarettes, which are marketed as a safe replacement for smoking, actually present immediate dangers,” ensuring his support for all e-cigarette explosion victims.
