The Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) recently discovered banned ingredients in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) products used for e-cigarettes. But should readers be concerned? This article informs everyone about what they need to know about these findings.
The OLCC investigation reveals the presence of banned substances in THC electronic cigarette products.
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) has discovered soybean oil in electronic cigarettes sold by Weedology and The Bud House, two e-cigarette retailers in Oregon. These products, sold under the brand name "YHN," may have already been purchased by approximately 18,000 customers.
Improperly Classified Vape Products.
Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) discovered that soybean oil was listed as an ingredient in several products as an artificial flavoring. These products were then classified as "inhalable cannabinoid products containing non-cannabis additives." However, soybean oil contains triglycerides, which OLCC regulations prohibit in electronic cigarette products.
Triglycerides are esters of glycerol and fatty acids that are typically found in animal fats and plant oils.
After conducting independent testing through third-party laboratories, the OLCC confirmed that these products do indeed contain soybean oil.
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) is advising consumers who have purchased e-cigarette products from any retail store between November 12, 2021 and July 6, 2022 to either destroy the product or return it to the retailer.
Are these ingredients dangerous?
The use of triglycerides in soybean oil as a food additive is considered safe. However, this does not mean that it can be used as an inhalable liquid component.
However, even if you purchase an electronic cigarette containing THC material, you may not need to worry.
So far, the OLCC (Oregon Liquor Control Commission) has not received any complaints from customers who have purchased electronic cigarettes at Weedology or The Bud House regarding illnesses related to vaping. It is possible that the low level of triglycerides in the liquid may not cause any lung damage.
However, anyone who falls ill after using these products should contact OLCC by sending an email to marijuana@oregon.gov.
The final take on the latest news from OLCC regarding electronic cigarettes.
The recalled e-cigarette oil purchased in Oregon may not have any issues, but it could potentially damage reputations.
People buy e-cigarette liquids manufactured in Oregon because they believe they will not contain any unapproved fillers.
However, in the United States, there are nearly 20,000 individual products that contain an ingredient never intended to be inhaled.
There are two lessons to be learned here.
Firstly, do not purchase products with vague labels stating that the product contains "artificial ingredients." Either do not buy the item or find out what those ingredients are. If you cannot get an accurate answer, assume that it is unsafe to use and shop elsewhere.
Secondly, it is important for businesses to understand the products they sell and their ingredients. Not only could selling poor quality oil damage their reputation, they may also be held responsible for any harm caused to customers' health if the oil is harmful.
