Recent FDA article regarding safety of cartridges

[dekang]

On 22 July 2009, FDA has issued an article concerning the safety of electronic cigarette cartridges and liquid. The most important issue raised was the presence of Diethylene Glycol, a toxic chemical used in anti-freeze.

We have so far received several emails concerning this issue from our customers, and we think it may be of concerns to other suppliers too.

Yunnan Changning Dekang Biotechnology here declares that our e-liquid does not contain Diethylene Glycol. E-liquid tested positive for this chemical by the US FDA is not produced by Dekang.


Dekang’s e-liquid and cartridges has been thoroughly tested and confirmed to be safe by SGS, Korean FDA and German TUV LFGB. In addition, the cartridges are made in the factory of our subsidy Boge Technology. The factory has received GMP, ISO9001：2008, ISO13485;2003 Canada CAMDCAS certificates.

Dekang will not hold responsibility for e-liquid that has been modified by traders/suppliers. All our original e-liquid comes in childproof bottles with YNDK logo imprinted on to the cap.

Certificates are available upon request. Please email frances@yndekang.com if you have questions regarding our liquid safety and certificates.

You have a lot of customers here in the US, both directly and through retailers who purchase from you.

Are you standing at the sidelines? What are you or will you be doing to refute the lies of the FDA? Are you going to have someone represent both your and the industries point of view?

Worth mentioning - not all Dekang/Boge bottles have the YNDK logo imprinted on them. The newer ones, yes. The older version, though, which many vendors still have in stock, is a plain white cap with tamper evident ring and no imprinting.
