YouTube Description
as posted by the channelE-cigarettes are devices designed to deliver nicotine to the user without ever having to light up a conventional cigarette. These devices were first patented in 2003, and they've been available for sale in the US since 2007. Manufacturers of these products advertise them as safe, safer than traditional forms of smoking, as a way to actually quit smoking is their pitch. Right now, the jury is still out on the long-term health effects from e-cigarettes.
But, what we're focusing on today are the lawsuits being filed against the manufacturers of e-cigarettes because the lithium-ion batteries in the devices have been known to explode during normal use and during the time that you're charging the batteries. 80% of the fires with e-cigarettes occur while the device is being charged in the USB port.
Mike Papantonio, host of America's Lawyer, discusses this with attorney Andrew McGraw.
