Exploding E-Cig Injures Woman, Destroys Rental Car

Koziol is the third reported victim of an e-cigarette explosion in Southwest Florida in recent months. She, like others, has retained a personal injury lawyer hoping to go after the companies that sold or made what she now believes is a dangerous product that could have killed her. "I’ll never use a mod again," she said, referring to a nickname for the device. On Friday, Koziol stood outside Riner’s home near her rental car — gutted and charred from the blaze — swearing off e-cigarettes and tobacco products.
