vaping myself as well and live in CT
Yea, blumenthal is known to go after ANYBODY he doesn't play favorites and has in the past done some good for the consumers of CT. He's probably best known for championing the fight against Gift Cards charging fees, but don't forget his desire to run for governor is no secret so national attention is a big priority for him as well.
I think what we're failing to see here is they're afraid we have NO control over our supply chain in china. Which we don't. What the FDA report has shown, especially with lines like "even liquids with the same label varied greatly in content" means theres chinese suppliers 'cutting' the liquids not unlike the illegal drug market here, water it down to double their profit, but then how do they compensate for a weakened product? What do they toss in? And even vendors dealing with the same supplier they've found to be reliable and honest can fall victim when that supplier changes THEIR supplier.
Remember the fisher price lead incident? The CEO of the manufacturer committed suicide over that incident, and he was a rarity in china a 100% honest businessman who got in a mess because of helping a "Friend" with his paint business who could care less and sold him lead paint.
needless to say my personal risk assessment is we already know how deadly cigarettes are I'll choose the liquid of questionable source
Does anybody have the actual emails that blumenthal's office sent to vendors?
