Colorado Teen Afflicted With Third-Degree Burns From Exploding E-Cig, Prompts Potential E-Cigarette Lawsuit Case

June 27, 2016 – – Attorney Marc Freund of LipsigLawyers.com commented on a prior e-cigarette explosion, where a Colorado teen sustained second and third-degree burns after his e-cigarette exploded while in his pocket. Freund claims that retailers and manufacturers have a shared responsibility to warn potential e-cigarette users of the potential dangers that their products present.

Fox31 Denver indicates that the teenage boy has been hospitalized following his e-cig battery exploding in his pocket. The victim sustained second and third-degree burns from the explosion, and stated that “seeing your whole leg pussed out and black, it doesn’t make you feel too good about yourself.” The 17-year-old hopes will serve as an example to other e-cig users of the potential consequences that the devices present.

A detailed timeline created by TheProductLawyers.com, concludes that there have been 199 reported e-cigarette explosions since 2009. The timeline indicates that over 80 percent of all e-cig explosions have occurred since 2014, totaling 162 explosions during the 2.5-year span. This incident marks the 7th e-cigarette explosion in the state of Colorado, which is among the top 5 most common states for e-cig explosions. To date, there have been 58 reported e-cig explosions on the west coast, making up nearly 45 percent of all reported e-cigarette explosions in the U.S.
