I've only read the first page of this thread, but wanted to chime in that in the past 2 months, I've received close to 100 offers to supply products from Chinese manufacturers. In the process of researching the companies and their products (boy is this tedious
), I recently came across one (I'm sure there were others before, but was just so inundated that my head was spinning too much to notice) manufacturer with health claims and claims of FDA approval. I responded back about my concerns of health claims and that I was not aware of any e-cig that was approved by the FDA.
Their manager quickly responded back with this: "thanks for your kind reply about FDA problem.
well,about the health claims,pls do not worry,all our product get approved CE,ROHS,SGS,FDA on Medical Device.
espercially the FDA,maybe you are a little confused,exactly FDA on Medical Device is for the e-cigarette,except the e-liquid,you know,now nobody have get e-liquid FDA.but do not worry,about the liquid,we have get approved SGS,it is healthy."
So, while the FDA claim is not wholey legit, I think the way they've managed to word-smith might be keeping them fairly safe. I would definitely like to know more about their ability to be legit under the eyes of the FDA as a "medical device"!!
On a side note, I just recently clicked on a hyperlink in a thread in this forum that took me to a US vendors website where it is specifically stated, "PENSTYLES are THE MOST successful way to QUIT Tobacco. This is how I started and quit Tobacco myself!" Obviously, we still need to do some house-cleaning of our own US vendors.
