Idaho Falls woman says vape battery left her with partial third degree burns

(KIFI/KIDK) You may have heard about Andrew Hall, the man in Pocatello who was rushed to the hospital after his vape equipment exploded in his face. Now Kyle Barker, a woman in Idaho Falls, said she is dealing with partial third degree burns after her vaping battery exploded.

What makes Barker’s story different than other vaping accidents is, her vape battery was outside of the MOD. The MOD is the device which you can vape from. Barker said the battery was in the middle console of her car when it exploded.

A vape shop in Pocatello said while they are not familiar with the incident, they do not think this is a vaping related case. Instead, they said this could potentially happen to anyone who has a battery that touches pocket change or metal.

Barker said she does not want this to happen to other people and warns of the dangers of vaping.
