When we think about lung disease associated with cigarettes, we do not often think of children. Lung problems from smoking are severe and life-threatening but take time to manifest. One of the most troubling aspects of vaping-related illness is how quickly users fall ill. Sometimes it happens in a matter of a few months. In addition, children who vape are more likely to begin smoking cigarettes. Teenagers have even been among those who have died from vaping illnesses.

In addition to illnesses, our children are at risk for severe injuries due to burns and explosions. The batteries in these devices can catch fire or explode unexpectedly. Teens have started fires in their cars while trying to charge their vaping devices. Their clothes have caught fire from a vape pen or an extra battery in their pocket. Some have suffered damage to their face, hands or legs. If a defective device has injured your child, talk to us right away about holding the company liable for your damages.
