Federal regulators have warned 13 e-cigarette liquid makers and sellers that they need to change packaging after children accidentally drank liquid nicotine. Several of the online retailers were cited for illegally selling the products to minors. The e-cigarettes had labeling or advertising that looked like kid-friendly food products, such as juice boxes, candy or cookies, and some included cartoon images.
There were more than 8,200 e-cigarette and liquid nicotine exposures among children younger than age 6 from January 2012 to April 2017, according to an analysis of National Poison Data System data. For children, exposure to the nicotine in e-liquid products, even in small amounts, could lead to death from cardiac arrest, as well as seizure, coma and respiratory failure.
Products targeted include the One Mad Hit Juice Box, which resembles children’s apple juice boxes; Vape Heads Sour Smurf Sauce, which resembles War Heads candy; V'Nilla Cookies & Milk, which resembles Nilla Wafer and Golden Oreo cookies; Whip’d Strawberry, which looks like Reddi-wip dairy whipped topping; and Twirly Pop, which "not only resembles a Unicorn Pop lollipop but is shipped with one," the FDA said.
