and Consumer Commission has
commenced proceedings against
two e-cigarette online retailers
alleging they made false or
misleading representations and
engaged in misleading conduct
by making statements on their
websites that their e-cigarette
products did not contain toxic
chemicals.
The two companies involved
are Social-Lites Pty Ltd and
Elusion New Zealand Ltd, both
claiming their products did not
contain carcinogens or toxic
chemicals, and did not contain
any of the chemicals found in
conventional cigarettes.
Independent testing
commissioned by the ACCC has
demonstrated the presence of
formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and
acrolein, classified respectively as
carcinogens Group 1A, Group 2B
and a toxic chemical by WHO.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 21 Jun 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 21 Jun 16
