Would you be worried?

WTF?!?!? May contain traces of nuts? Why would eliquid potentially contain traces nuts?

The VG is made by extracting glycerin from vegetable products. I guess maybe you could get it out of a nut? Or maybe that's a generic sticker they put on everything they sell. Some flavorings contain natural extracts and may include nuts. Nut allergies are very common and can kill the folks that are sensitive. My guess is they are covering their :censored:es in that respect.

Just a theory but you could cold press different nuts and use it as flavorings possibly, for people with allergies to them it would be real bad. Directly inhaling it into the one place you do not want a reaction the respiratory system. I'd rather have a label of ingredients err on the side of too much caution vs not enough.

:lol:<- sorry about this fella,for some reason I cannot delete him.

I think they may be covering their behinds or it may have been packaged in a factory where nuts are present.

I'm not sure about the rest of the world but in the UK they tend to put this on everything which must make it very difficult for people with nut allergys to find things that do not have this on.

Tree and/or peanuts can cause fatal reactions in some people. It's a blanket statement to try to cover their behinds, which is far preferable to them saying nothing at all. Most places don't say anything of value to someone with allergies. What company is this? Kudos to them.

The juice is from http://bargainejuice.ca I gave it a wurl because it was cheap and a canadian seller so I didn't have to worry about customs.

I was worried because this is the first time I've seen this warning on ejuice and had visions of them mixing juice on the kitchen table where they made the peanut butter sandwich they ate for lunch.

Some European VG is extracted from Walnuts and such. VG can come from even peanut oil, sunflower seed oils and such, so yes, putting that on the label to warn anyone with a nut allergy can divert the company from a lawsuit of an allergic reaction.

But seriously, my company did some work in a commercial bakery. After they ran something with nuts...like banana nut bread...everything had to be washed down with a chemical that would eliminate any proteins left over on the surfaces. Still, all their labels on all other products carried a warning about nuts being used in other products.
