An Idaho man has suffered serious injuries to his face and mouth after the explosion of an e-cigarette. It is not the first incident of this manner to be reported after e-cigarettes exploded.
Key takeaways:
– The accident happened while Andrew was in the bathroom with the device shattering into pieces while in his mouth.
– The e-cigarette knocked out several teeth in the mouth and left him with second degree burns to the cheeks.
– Batteries used in the e-cigarettes are widely blamed for the vape pen explosions reported by users.
‘I’ve lost at least 7 teeth, 2nd degree burns to face and neck and have been pulling chunks of plastic, teeth and foreign objects from mouth, throat and lips,’ he told Facebook friends.
