Choose Irwin Mitchell to handle your faulty e-cigarette claim
E-cigarettes are still a relatively new alternative to smoking. The laws and regulations around them are developing as their popularity increases. That’s why it’s important to have an expert by your side if you’ve been injured by a faulty e-cigarette.
Manufacturers and retailers of products both have a responsibility to make sure e-cigarettes sold to consumers provide a reasonable level of safety.
An e-cigarette which catches fire or explodes through no fault of the consumer must be considered unsafe. This means the retailer or manufacturer should be found liable for any injuries caused as a result.
Faulty e-cigarettes can cause electrical fires, which can result in injury and damage to property. This could leave you with physical and mental scars.
If you're unsure whether you can make a claim, you should speak to our experts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Often with faulty e-cigarette claims, you won’t be the only person to have been injured by one. A group action claim groups all claims against those responsible, which means you can share the costs with others.
A group action may be an appropriate way for the court to manage several similar claims together without having a trial for each individual claim. Group actions maximise the chances of being fully and fairly compensated for your trauma. If you're unsure about whether making a group claim is right for you, contact our experts.
