Summary: European officials have been wrongly labelling e-liquid as extremely toxic. This is the view of ECITA, based on a report by toxicology consultants which has been verified by Professors Riccardo Polosa and Bernd Mayer, and Dr Jacques Le Houezec. The civil servants had been misclassifying e-liquid as either a CLP category 2 product, alongside strychnine, or a category 3 product, alongside formaldehyde. The new report demonstrates that the acute oral and dermal toxic hazards of the strongest consumer e-liquids only merit being classed as category 4 – along with washing-up liquid – while the vast majority of e-liquid (which has nicotine concentrations below 25mg/ml or 2.5%) does not require any type of formal hazard warning. ECITA will still mandate its members to provide clearly labelled e-liquid in child-proof containers.

Eu officials have wrongly labelled politicians as no toxic. In common with many fertilizers, they contain a substantial amount of bovine faeces and on top of this, they contain highly toxic levels of corruption, self interest and due to the high level of anal retention, these deadly ingredients build up to levels which endanger not only indiviuals but the entire planet. We reccommend they are stored in idiot proof containers (as idiots would be the only ones who would let them out)


Seriously, more evidence to back up what we all know and government deny can only be good

The consequence is that all e-liquids with a concentration of less than 2.5% (25 mg/ml) should not be classified under the EC regulation [for acute oral or dermal toxicity], and that higher nicotine concentrations (up to 5% or 50 mg/ml for dermal classification, and even higher for oral classification) should be considered as CPL category 4”.

It seems fairly conclusive, therefore, that the generally assumed CLP (or CPL, for most non-English speaking countries) classification of nicotine is in fact, incorrect.

..And..

ECITA’s advice (the solution?)

In order to maximise the protection of consumers, their children and indeed their pets, we advise the following, regardless of nicotine level, and including for no nicotine products, except for concentrations where CLP does apply:

Child-resistant closures must be used on all e-liquid bottles.
E-liquid labelling must include, as a minimum:
the heading: “CAUTION:”
the text: “Store locked up and out of the reach of children and pets”
Nicotine concentration in weight per volume (w/v) percentage and/or milligrams per millilitre (mg/ml) must be marked on the label
The text: “Only for use in electronic cigarettes”
The text: “Seek medical advice if swallowed”
Contact details must be displayed
All of these label elements must be visible, legible and indelible

A step forward.....hopefully makes the news, is not mis-reported... we need some good publicity.
