Why are you so worried about supplier's business status???????? You're a CONSUMER advocacy group(One I've been approached by a member to join)?? How about a poll asking suppliers what measures they are taking in their facilities to ensure lot to lot consistency, consumer safety, quality control measures, packaging & labeling standards etc,etc etc, ad nauseum????? Is there anyone tasked with this function in your organization. Do you have anyone with REAL, significant Pharma/
tobacco industry or quality control/assurance experience on your board???? These are the questions
vaping consumers SHOULD be worried about your organization asking to supplier/vendors.
If FDA shuts down all US
eliquid suppliers due to gross negligence with respect to QC/QA standards, it doesn't matter what customs/AMA/AHA/ACA is doing or saying or how many suppliers are crying about seizures; the game is over(and it won't be anyone's fault but the industry's). I would really start listening to some advice from your friends over the pond at ECITA. They seem to be going in the right direction.
