How Do I Report a Vape Battery Explosion to FDA?

You may have heard that e-cigarettes, or "vapes," can explode and seriously injure people. Although they appear rare, these explosions are dangerous. The exact causes of such incidents are not yet clear, but some evidence suggests that battery-related issues may lead to vape explosions. Please report a vape explosion or any other unexpected health or safety issue with a vape to the FDA through the Safety Reporting Portal. When you fill out the form, please be sure to include:

• The name of the vape manufacturer
• The brand name, model, and serial number of the vape
• The brand name and model of the battery
• Where it was purchased
• Whether the product was used differently than intended by the manufacturer
• Whether the product was modified in any way
