E-Cigarettes, E-Cigs, and Vaporizers Causing Serious Burn Injuries

e-cigarette explosion lawyer munley lawThe use of e-cigarettes (or “vaping”) has become an increasingly popular alternative to smoking tobacco, especially among young people. Unfortunately, these devices are currently not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and they have been found to pose unexpected explosion and burn hazards to consumers. As their popularity has grown, so has the number of e-cigarette explosion injuries. The media reported at least 25 incidents between 2009 and 2014. In 2016, there has already been at least three e-cigarette explosions in as many months.

The U.S. Fire Administration released a report of the dangers associated with vaping and how these explosions occur. Powered by lithium ion batteries, e-cigarettes use heat to turn flavored liquid into vapor.  While  it is typically during charging that the batteries can overheat and rupture, e-cigarettes can explode while being stored in a pocket or bag, causing second or third degree burns. If the vaporizer explodes while in use, it can cause devastating facial injuries and scarring.

In October, 2015, a California woman who suffered second degree burns from an e-cigarette was awarded $1.9 million in a lawsuit against the e-cig distributor and the store where she purchased it.

    Without Caroline Munley, I’m not sure where I would be. After cutting off the tip of my finger at my construction job, I was worried that my career would be at risk. But Ms. Munley reassured me that filing a workers comp claim doesn’t mean I would lose my job. She was with me every step of the way and helped me get back on my feet again. Now I’m back on the job and it’s all thanks to her help! Maggie, a Workers’ Compensation Client

    [Attorney] Munley and Munley Law have been absolutely awesome to work with. After wasting years with another firm working on my case, Munley Law was able to get me the social security disability that I deserved. You walk in to Munley Law and are greeted with a friendly smile and courtesy. They are highly confidential, well organized and extremely knowledgeable about social security disability – they really know what they are doing. They were with me every step of the way, did all of the leg work, and returned calls promptly. They assured me that if we didn’t win, we would keep fighting, because I deserved this. They were professional and courteous, and I had complete trust in them. I highly recommend Munley Law – they will fight on your behalf. Sandy, Social Security Disability Case
