‘E-cigarettes can burn your skin too. David Yeo, a recycling worker in England, suffered serious burns when an e-cigarette battery blew up in his trouser pocket.’
David, of Exmouth Devon, said: "There was a massive bang and flames shot out. It was like a Roman Candle firework had been set off. I tried to drop to the floor to put myself out, but the hallway was too small."
He added: "I managed to rip my jeans off, but by that time it was too late - my jeans and jumper had gone up. It was very lucky that my girlfriend was there. She was beating the flames out as I was trying to remove my jeans. I was in a state of complete shock - I was shaking and screaming.”
The incident forced him to resign from the work at Knowle Hill Recycling Centre, near Budleigh Salterton - a job he only started earlier this month. He has now warned thousands of other e-cigarette users to be extra-careful.
