Three California Men File Suits After E-Cigarette Batteries Explode
Three California men have filed lawsuits against manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers of electronic cigarettes, claiming the products’ batteries exploded, causing severe injuries.
The Los Angeles Daily News reported that the three men, one of whom is a former L.A. Galaxy player, are seeking damages and hoping to raise awareness about the lack of regulation in the e-cigarette industry.
The men’s’ attorney Gregory Bentley says Orange County resident and former Major League Soccer player Daniel Califf suffered second degree burns on his neck, ear and face and facial fractures when an e-cigarette he was using exploded.
