E-Cigarette & Vape Pens

E-Cigarettes, Vape Pens & Serious Safety Concerns

Electronic cigarettes, also called e-cigarettes or vape pens, are battery-powered devices that deliver nicotine as vapor instead of smoke. Their use has grown quickly, especially among young people and those who never smoked before.

Many companies market vaping as a “safer” choice than regular cigarettes. However, growing evidence shows that e-cigarettes can cause serious health problems and dangerous device failures, such as explosions, fires, and toxic exposure.

Carabin Law is investigating injury claims involving defective e-cigarettes, vape pens, and lithium-ion batteries.

Vape Explosions, Fires & Burn Injuries

Many vaping devices rely on high-powered lithium-ion batteries. When these batteries overheat, short-circuit, or are improperly designed, they can violently explode without warning.

Reported Vape Explosion Scenarios Include

  • Devices igniting while being used
  • Batteries exploding during charging
  • Devices combusting while stored in pockets or bags
  • Spare batteries detonating without protective casing
  • Fires during transport or shipment


These incidents have resulted in severe burns, facial injuries, broken teeth, permanent scarring, and at least one confirmed death.

Health Risks Linked to E-Cigarettes & Vape Products

In addition to explosion-related injuries, lawsuits allege that vaping products expose users to dangerous levels of nicotine and toxic chemicals.

Potential Health Complications Include:

  • Nicotine overdose (via inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion of e-liquids)
  • Lung injuries and respiratory distress
  • Chemical burns to the mouth and throat
  • Cardiovascular complications
  • Long-term neurological effects

Federal agencies continue to study the full health impact of vaping, particularly flavored products and high-nicotine formulations.
