A bill that would require liquid nicotine vials, such as those used to refill electronic cigarettes, to have childproof caps is poised for full Senate consideration.
The Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee by a unanimous voice vote Sept, 17, approved the Child Nicotine Poisoning Prevention Act of 2014 (S. 2581). The bill is supported by organizations including the American Academy of Pediatricians, American College of Physicians, American College of Cardiology and American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
If enacted, the legislation would direct the Consumer Product Safety Commission to develop rules requiring childproof containers for liquid nicotine preparations.
“Our first priority is to make sure this stuff isn’t hurting our kids,” Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), the bill’s sponsor, said in a statement. “Then we can continue to look at whether or not additional steps need to be taken to protect the general public.”
