A Utah man who says he suffered “catastrophic injuries” when an electronic cigarette exploded in his face has sued the device’s manufacturer over alleged design defects.
In his Nov. 3 complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, Ronald Boren says the Prodigy V3.1 e-cigarette he was smoking at home in February 2013 blew up, sending burning debris and battery acid into his mouth, face and eyes, and catching his hair on fire. Boren says his injuries were so severe he spent 10 days in the hospital.
