A man has been left with multiple injuries and first-degree burns
after the e-cigarette he was using exploded in his mouth. The explosion
fractured his neck, forced teeth into his gums, broke his finger, and
burned his face, chest and eyes.
James Lauria, 23, was using the
device as an aid to quit smoking when the incident occurred, leaving him
in intense pain and unable to eat solid food after it destroyed parts
of his mouth. The injuries were so severe that Lauria had to spend a
week in the ICU to recover.
“He had burns to his hand and a fractured neck and finger, and burns to his cornea,” his father, Ed Lauria, said. “It
blew a hole through his pallet and at the same time, flames went down
and he got first-degree burns on his chest and up on his face. It forced
his front tooth up into his gum- out of sight -and chipped the other
one and damaged a few other lower teeth.“
The United
Kingdom Local Government Authority was forced to ask manufacturers to
include warnings after more than 100 fires were caused by e-cigarettes
in the country.
