Moment Elf bar E-cigarette EXPLODES a few feet from a baby is captured by home ... trends now
A home security camera captured the terrifying moment an Elf Bar exploded just a few feet from a baby sitting in a high chair.
The clip, posted to TikTok this week, was shot by a Ring camera inside a living room, showing the young child facing a counter where the electronic cigarette was sitting.
The mother said she went to the pantry to get her baby a snack when she heard a loud sound and saw fire bursting from the vape about two feet from her child, who did not appear hurt - but was visibly terrified by the incident.
An Elf Bar, like most e-cigarettes, contains a lithium battery that can explode when it becomes too hot as a result of overcharging or exposure to direct sunlight.

It is not clear if the vape in the video was being charged when it caught fire.
The video was shot inside an Oregon home in July 2023 but has just now been posted online.
The footage begins with a young boy walking through the living room while his baby sister sits peacefully in her high chair located in the kitchen.
A loud bang is then heard that startled the young child and sparks began to fly off the counter and toward the baby’s legs.
The sparks quickly turned into flames that engulfed a small area of the tabletop.
‘What is happening,’ Samantha Humphrey, the children’s mother, is heard yelling from outside of the camera frame.
Elf Bar is the most popular e-cigarette worldwide, generating over $271 million in the past year, according to retail data tracker Neilsen
