You can also get a free initial consultation today with one of the best e-cigarette explosion accident attorneys in Los Angeles by calling (213) 596-9642.
Either way, in the end, I will explain the benefits of forming an attorney-client relationship for all e-cigarette explosion accidents in California. The use of lithium-ion battery-powered vapes or vape pens has shot up exponentially over the years.
In particular, teens and recreational/medical marijuana consumers have been purchasing vape pens, causing a widespread increase in vape explosions. Medical bills associated with these e-cigarettes can include facial reconstructive surgery and long-term burn center treatments, with highly addictive pain medication after explosion events.
Many manufacturers have declared or inferred that vaping is safer than burning tobacco or plant material into inhalable smoke. Even a run-of-the-mill personal injury attorney will probably shy away from making a product liability claim, wrongfully believing you assumed the risk by using e-cigarette devices, including any property damage to the pen itself.
These are not the law offices you should hire. Keep reading. We will cover all the myths below and can discuss more during a free consultation today.
Actually, many scientists have stated that the overall health dangers from exploding vape pens are far more destructive than many consumers originally believed. Vape pens represent an entirely new type of personal injury claim related to tobacco and inhalable narcotics. Many aspects related to the vape pen device are often overlooked, leading to e-cigarette explosion cases in Los Angeles.
If you suffered injuries, you will probably be dealing with lost wages and costly out-of-pocket expenses you did anticipate. So the question is, did you voluntarily assume the risk of being laid up in the hospital with gruesome facial scarring or even blindness? No, and here’s why.
Although tobacco is a known carcinogen and cancer-causing agent, it remains legal. Many people chew tobacco as they believe it is less harmful than burning it. This is the same logic with vaping behind e-cigarettes. So yes, it’s deadly, but it’s also legal. The safety of the delivery device used to get the nicotine, THC, or other products ingested in the human bloodstream is at issue.
Under the consumer reasonable expectation test, consumers have a right to expect the products they consume and buy on the market are safe and sane to use. Here, we know the product itself can kill. But we also know regular cigarettes don’t cause smokers to suffer serious injuries to their face and lips when use as expected. But this is not the case with lithium-ion batteries used to power vape devices.
We have seen an explosion in news stories about lithium-ion batteries causing catastrophic fires and explosions on aircraft, in a person’s pockets, and elsewhere. Because of this, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, hoverboards, and other products fail when their lithium-ion battery overheats. As with all potentially fatal products, it’s important to keep a receipt of purchase.
E-cigarette lithium-ion batteries are known to catch fire or explode. At least 134 cases have been reported to the Food and Drug Administration, but thousands more have gone unreported. California product liability law protects consumers from faulty products and provides the legal means to pursue the parties responsible for your injuries suffered in a vape explosion.
The breaking news about consumer lawsuits is that legal action brought by a plaintiff against a defendant in a court of law through opposing lawyers or attorneys over e-cigarette explosions is now on an international stage.
E-cigarettes are quickly becoming one of the most popular recreational items in use today.
However, e-cigs are often just as dangerous as traditional forms of smoking. Some people learned this the hard way recently.
The Guardian reported on a case in France where a man’s e-cigarette exploded in his pocket. In fact, one high-profile case made it all the way to CNN.
E-cigarette explosions are often caused by their:
These Factors Can Include:
All of these above issues create a hazardous situation for e-cig smokers. Although this alternative is becoming more popular, such problems are not adequately addressed.
