First time that I have seen this happen.

Drip More has recalled four lots of “Candy King — Worms” e-liquid that the company says contains a higher concentration of nicotine than what is stated on the label. Drip More says the misbranded e-liquid was produced by a contract manufacturer.

The nicotine strength listed on the label is 3 mg/mL. Drip More has not said what concentration is actually in the bottles, but says, “The higher concentration of nicotine has the potential to cause immediate and potentially serious adverse health effects.” The company says is has received no reports of “illness or injury,” but that “some consumers have complained that the product tastes bad, bitter, and/or harsh.”

Curious to know if anyone has tried any of the Candy King line. There are a couple of flavors I'm interested in trying.

Just over one month IMO isn't a while back. Facts are Important

I also wonder how many other batches of juice should have been recalled. Not from this company but from all of them.
There is virtually no QA oversight on ejuice.

This was a while back so I wonder why it has not been all over the news from the Anti Vapers?
When the feces hit the rotary oscillating device, Candy King is going to need a new name and product names and description.
Sour Worms ( Lumbricina having an acid taste like lemon or vinegar )by Candy King ( Monarch confection that features soluble carbohydrates ) eJuice (Liquid) is an exquisite concoction of the classic gummy ( gelatin-based ) crawlers, with a burst of fruity flavors that delivers a sensational sweet and sour profile. ( and other stuff)

Only three product classified as Tobacco were recalled in the last year:
Candy King - Worms
Vusa Vibe-power unit
copenhagen,skoal
And do you think that Candy King worms was the only ejuice sold that was not properly mixed?

I personally think that ejuice should meet the same safety standards as food preparation does.
correct amount of correct ingredients, sanitary conditions, etc
A made on or use by date on the bottle would also be nice.

Since ppl were complaining that it was harsh, it was probably 30mg juice. You’d be fairly surprised with that in a sub ohm tank expecting 3mg. Just what vaping needs now.

yeah I figure the customer complaints is the only reason it got recalled.

Annoying, since the chewing stuff is the only real tobacco product in the list. Thanks FDA for your Deeming bullshit. Mods are tobacco now? They are overstepping hugely.

Technically virtually any thing having to do with vaping has been a tobacco product with the issuance FDA deeming regs.
Goes back to 2009 I think.

I also noticed in reading about this that the juice was actually made by an outside contractor who I suspect makes juice for other brands as well.

I hate to say that when we weren’t vaping, I wasn’t keeping up with related news. I am so hoping that the Deeming regs get quashed somehow, but should probably be getting a vapocalypse stash ready instead!
Supposedly hardware will not be as affected as e liquids. But, I have no room in my freezer for nic base now!

Who very responsibly quite probably tripled the dose of nic! We’ll see if any other companies get in trouble.

Actually as it currently stands no vape hardware or ejuice not on the US market before Feb 2007 will be legal to be sold or imported into the USA within 2 years or less.

Flavorings, wire, cotton, batteries , PG/VG not marketed for use as for vaping will be fine.
Basically anything marketed for use with vaping will be banned from sale or importation.
Example a flavoring advertised for use with vaping will likely be banned but one such as Capella that does not promote use in vaping will still be available.
Muji pads will be fine but cotton bacon will be banned.
Same with lightning vapes wire but not Temco.
Vapcell may be banned but batteries will be harder to get as no main manufacturer promotes or officially allows their cells to be used with vaping or with most cells used in vaping not to be used as individual cells. Only sold for use in protected battery packs like used in computers or cordless tools.

I do expect freebase nic to be sold only to licensed company's in the not too distant future though.

This is as the FDA deeming regs and such currently stand, things could change for the better but I personally do not count on it happening.

And btw do not feel bad about not knowing what is coming towards vaping in the USA.
I figure that far less than 10% of vapers know what is really headed towards them.
Most who know are on vape boards and such but we represent a tiny portion of vapers in the USA.

A far bigger number spread fear and Vapocolypse warnings when if you actually do a little thinking it will never come to be. If it was to actually happen the Black Market and the Dark Web are two realistic possibilities.

Edit: Remember the Deeming Regulations was supposed to be the END and what is it now a whole decade later?

I'm more concerned with over-regulation and massive taxes. But there are ways around both of those too. Vaping is too wide spread now. World wide. The FDA couldn't stop it 10 years ago when they had a real hard on for it, they never will.

Ahh but they will have the 5G internet of things helping them...
Big Brother.

Totally shut donw vaping for current vapers?
Yes for the majority that only buy, juice, coils, etc at vape shops.
For dedicated ones that build their own coils, DIY juice, etc not so much.
But we are a tiny minority of the total number of vapers in the USA.

If they can tax something they can pretty much shut it down.
If they tax it they track it and know where it is sold, etc.

Those who think the Government can stop anything are sorely mistaken, just think of all the Illegal things that have been around they tried to stop. Outlaw Vape so only Outlaws will Vape. Typical Democrapic thinking IMHO

I don't recall where I saw it, pretty sure it was an old list from some years back. Maybe someone else knows what I'm referring to, there was a list of ejuice companies that were tested for nicotine strength. A few different bottles of each were tested, seems like there were around 20-30 companies on the list (maybe more). Testing to see if what was on the label was correct. So if it said 6mg nicotine, were they in fact selling juice with 6mg in it. Some were on point, one or two were slightly stronger like maybe 6.5 or 7mg of nicotine. Many were lower than stated, so while it said 6mg people were only getting like 4.8 or 5.2mg.

I imagine some suggesting that company xyz's juice was smoother while another was more harsh, one may have been using the proper amount of nic and the 'smoother' one under delivering. Much in the same way 3mg isn't as harsh as 6mg, if dipping out on the nicotine of course it would seem 'smoother'. Just like mods people thing hit 'harder' at 80w than another at 80w. Well sure, especially if the weaker one is only hitting 79-80w and the 'hard hitting' mod was actually delivering more power than it said due to inaccuracy. Maybe the hard hitter was sending more like 85-86w instead of the displayed 80. Set the more accurate mod to 85w and it would hit just as hard.
