E-cigarette Explosion Injuries
E-cigarette explosions can be devastating for the victim. The intense, fiery explosions can result in severe and permanent injuries, such as severe burns to the body or face, facial bone fractures, loss of eyesight, or fractured neck. These injuries may require expensive, traumatic, painful treatment.

What Is Causing These E-cigarette Explosions?
There is not one single reason that an e-cigarette may explode. Some explosions can be connected to the lithium ion batteries that power many e-cigarettes, as consumers may mistakenly misuse the charger for their e-cigarette. Extreme temperatures can also be blamed for some e-cigarette explosions.
The lack of industry-wide manufacturing standards or testing programs allows faulty products to more easily be put in the hands’ of consumers.
