Man suffers burns to legs as e-cigarette explodes in his pocket
A man in Anaheim, California experienced burns after his e-cigarette exploded unexpectedly.
Electronic cigarettes are popular with people who are looking for tobacco alternatives. This does not mean, however, that electronic cigarettes are one hundred percent safe. If you suspect there is a problem with your e-cigarette, you should check it immediately.
Don't be like Mohamad Abdihdy, who says he felt a shock in his pocket before his e-cigarette exploded.
Mohamad entered an appliance store in Anaheim, California intending to buy a TV. He can be seen measuring one of the TVs before sparks begin to fly on the front of his pants.
The store manager describes hearing an explosion and then noticing smoke and flames coming from Mohamad's clothing. Mohamad ran to a nearby bathroom to attend to his wounds, later saying that his leg was in so much pain that he was having difficulty walking. Despite this, he was able to drive himself home after the incident.
The exact cause of the explosion has not yet been identified.
