Rising Incidents of E-Cigarette Explosions Cause Severe Burns in the US
Over 2000 incidents of e-cigarette explosions causing burns occurred in the US from 2015 to 2017, according to Nexstar.

According to a report by American media Nexstar on January 18th, Kara Jude, the burn prevention coordinator at Clark Burn Center, highlighted that between 2015 and 2017, there were over 2000 incidents of burn injuries caused by e-cigarette explosions in the United States.

 

According to the Clark Burn Center, similar incidents occur three to four times per month. These explosions can result in third-degree burns on the hands, thighs, buttocks, and other areas of the body, requiring long-term treatment.

 

Carla Jude calls on parents to pay attention to educating children and refrain from using damaged e-cigarettes and cheap chargers, in order to reduce safety risks.
