FDA Proposes Exposure Warnings – Child Proof Packaging for Liquid Nicotine

The FDA indicates that the number of calls to poison control centers and emergency room visits related to liquid nicotine poisoning have increased as vaping devices have become more popular.

New York, US – July 9, 2015 /PressCable/ —

Parker Waichman LLP, a national law firm which has long been involved in a number of key cases involving issues related to traditional cigarettes, vaping devices, and related products, such as chewing tobacco and liquid nicotine, is commenting on a recent update involving liquid nicotine. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposes exposure warnings and child-proof packaging for liquid nicotine, according to a June 30, 2015 announcement posted on the agency’s website.

The rising number of calls to poison control centers and emergency room visits related to liquid nicotine poisoning correlates with the increasing popularity of vaping and other electronic nicotine devices, the federal regulators note. The FDA is seeking commentary and additional data on proposed rules that would warn the public about nicotine exposure, especially accidental exposure in young children and infants, as well as child-proof packaging on some tobacco products.

Parker Waichman LLP comments that the FDA should strictly regulate vaping and nontraditional tobacco products, which use liquid nicotine. “The firm is pleased with the FDA’s proposed rules for liquid nicotine,” said Gary Falkowitz, Managing Attorney at Parker Waichman LLP. “Liquid nicotine poisoning is a rising health concern related to nicotine delivery devices, particularly with young children who are often exposed to the product accidentally.”

Parker Waichman has received a number of leads about the association between liquid nicotine and pediatric injuries and has assigned a team of attorneys and paralegals to work on this matter. The firm is also in discussions on ways in which to prove that the makers of these products did not thoroughly review the impact of liquid nicotine on children of all ages and to obtain recourse for its potential clients if they did not.
