"But consumers may not realize they’re using a device that an FDA spokesman told us is at this point is federally unregulated. The injured Flower Mound man believes neither the e-cigarette industry, nor the government, are doing enough to keep consumers safe."
“Kind of brings me back to when it happened,” said Robran quietly.
He remembers having met friends for lunch and was carrying his e-cigarette in one hand and two extra batteries in his pocket.
“So I had my keys in there as well, and I'm waiting to talk to the lady at the front desk,” Robran recounted."
You've got to be fucking kidding me!!!
The e-cigarette industry, nor the government, are doing enough to keep consumers safe When this dipshit stuck TWO LIVE BATTERIES AND A SET OF KEYS in his own fucking pocket???
What, does he want the e-cigarette industry and the government to hold his dick when he takes a piss so he doesn't dribble any on his pants too???
"There's no instructions that come with batteries at all," Robran pointed out as he showed us one of the purple cylindrical batteries. The lithium-ion batteries were manufactured by EFEST, a company in China's Guangdong province.
NBC 5 Investigates Consumer Unit called the company. A spokesperson told us the company does not believe the battery was defective. Instead it points to something else Robran had in his pocket – his keys.
The company theorizes the metal likely touched the lithium ion batteries' exposed contacts - causing a short circuit and explosion. An EFEST spokesman told me the company has gotten similar complaints from consumers who carried extra batteries in their pockets and, in response, posted a warning on its website. It also sells a battery carrying case. But consumers like Robran question whether that’s enough. Afterall, he bought the batteries from an online retailer. He would have no reason to check for warnings on the manufacturer’s website.
Seriously???
Is there "Instructions" that come with ANY battery?
There is no fucking instructions in a light socket neither but you know to not wet your hands then stick your finger in one!!!
Do we need the government to walk out of the house, hop in the car, and go to work for us now to???
Because the house, car, and job doesn't have instructions that come with them most of the time either - 5150
