E193 - STOP SALE | E-LIQUIDS THREATENED BY SURPRISE REGULATION

U.S. e-liquid manufacturers may have to pull millions of bottles of e-juice off of vape stores shelves following a surprise mandate, issued via tweet, by a recently appointed Republican Commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission earlier this year.

The unexpected regulation covers e-liquids containing nicotine that are bottled without special “flow restricted” packaging—both plastic and glass—and comes with an immediate stop sale order that provides U.S. e-liquid manufacturers zero time to bring existing products and production lines into compliance.

Why did CPSC issue the order? What enforcement action is underway? And what is being done to help the vaping industry survive?
