(WBBH) – A Cape Coral, Florida man is recovering from third degree burns after an e-cigarette exploded in his pocket.
It’s the second incident of its kind in recent days.
Earlier this week, a Naples man suffered burns to his face and lungs when his e-cigarette exploded.
“The gentleman who witnessed it said it sounded like three M-80s went off in my pocket,” Randall Cales says.
Cales said when he heard and felt the burning sensation he didn’t realize it was the e-cigarette in his pocket that had exploded.
“I actually thought I was getting shot because of the burn and the sound,” he said.
