A 31-year-old man, Otis Gooding got badly burnt on Wednesday
as an e-cigarette exploded in his pocket at a New York City wine store.
He was standing behind the store counter and talking with
co-workers when the e-cigarette exploded, burning his leg, thigh and hand.
Security camera video obtained from the store shows Gooding
jumping as sparks begin shooting from his pants pocket. Smoke billows from his
pants as he attempts to remove the device.
Gooding suffered third-degree burns and was admitted to the
Weill Cornell Medical Center burn unit, where he is expected to have surgery,
Rubenstein said.
