Yep.

@zoiDman "so he took a tiny sip and realized it was liquid nicotine for his wife's e-cigarette; she had used the empty container to mix her own e-liquid,"
I think this is the source of the confusion."so he took a tiny sip and realized it was liquid nicotine for his wife's e-cigarette;"
He assumed it was liquid nicotine.(nic base)
"she had used the empty container to mix her own e-liquid,"
IMHO this implies that it was not undiluted nic base but a mix.
In other words ready to go e-liquid.
apparently Everyone is linking to livesciences article.
"The girl's mother had filled an empty ibuprofen bottle with liquid nicotine that she had mixed herself using unflavored nicotine and vegetable glycerin."

The only source claiming what tests showed is livesciences story who refers toIt's HIGHLY unlikely she's vaping 70mg/ml juice, but according to the one actual test they did, that must be what was in the kids medicine bottle.
The only source claiming what tests showed is livesciences story who refers to
researchers doing the test.(?)
nothing references the doctor or the hospitals testing.
Note; Everyone is now referencing and linking
livesciences story in theirs now.

Her's my problem with all this. The story seems to originate fromThat article summary says
Analysis of the ingested liquid suggests a nicotine concentration of 140.6 mg/mL in the purchased commercial product, or 234% of its labeled concentration
implying that they THINK the stuff she drank was about 70, mixed down half I suppose by the mom from about 140, when it was supposed to only be 60. (so she was aiming for 30?)

10 days later there is all this learned scientific analysis of blood results
that should be considered confidential doctor patient information.
I may be missing something here.

You would be correct if the parents gave permission.It Isn't Confidential Doctor Patient Information if the Parents gave permission for Test Results to be Released.
And is it Confidential Doctor Patient Information if No Names are attached to Results?
I can't believe the parent would give any permission as it just shows the entire world they are a ........You would be correct if the parents gave permission.
Nothing i have read indicates this is the case. Even so, the time frame seems a little rushed.
The blood tests would have to be verified and discussed with the parents and their insurance company.
Then the results forwarded to said researchers for further analysis.
the paper specifically refers to 'the' six year old child so,obviously the
researchers new who the blood came from.

PS,is the lethal doses mentioned still based on the old assessments that have never been proven?

I would be more hopeful if anywhere in the articles it mentioned labeling your containers or keeping liquid nicotine out of reach. Instead they mention unreliable labeling(manufacturer) of nicotine products, which as far as I can tell had nothing to do with this accidental exposure.So I Hoping that some Good can come out of All This.
This is quite possibly the single most stupid thing anyone on earth has ever done.Who in their right mind puts nic in a child's ibuprofen bottle.
Even in the land of reduce/reuse/recycle this is unbelievable. If you reuse the bottle, label it, or in the very least remove the original label.This is quite possibly the single most stupid thing anyone on earth has ever done.
Consider me fully and truly gobsmacked.
Some people in the forum will remember the story out of NY about a child dying from nic poisoning. I followed that story as close as possible. Early reports were that the baby sitter caught the child drinking from a bottle of eliquid and tired to induce vomiting. i recall first reports were it was a bottle of consumer eliquid then that was changed to a bottle of nic concentrate. I recall an ambulance came to the scene and could not revive the child. Someone on this board contacted local authorities to get the death certificate. That was denied and apparently NY state law allows that denial. So we have an accidental death and no official, signed account of a cause of death. Some how that seems VERY unusual. It is always tragic when anything bad happens to a kid but there was political hay being made of this. I don't believe the child died of nicotine poisoning. I believe the cause was inappropriate responses by the care giver or first responders. I believe no toxicology tests were done to see if there was enough nicotine in the child's blood to be life threatening.Her's my problem with all this. The story seems to originate from
12/27/16.
