Azim Chowdhury Quoted in Article on E-liquid Bottling and Packaging Regulations

Keller and Heckman Partner Azim Chowdhury was quoted in the Tobacco Reporter article, “What’s in a Bottle?” The article discusses the regulatory scheme applicable to bottles and packaging for nicotine-containing e-liquids, as implemented by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). 

According to Azim, e-liquid manufacturers must comply with packaging requirements in the Tobacco Control Act and FDA’s Deeming Rule, as well as the Child Nicotine Poisoning Prevention Act. Companies must also provide FDA with detailed information on their e-liquid bottle/container closure system in their Premarket Tobacco Product Applications (PMTAs) to demonstrate that the e-liquid, as packaged, is appropriate for the protection of public health.
