RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Regulatory oversight of ENDS product defects JF Tobacco Control JO Tob Control FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP 2 OP 3 DO 10.1136/tobaccocontrol-2016-052985 VO 26 IS 1 A1 Micah Berman YR 2017 UL http://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/26/1/2.abstract AB This commentary discusses regulatory options for addressing electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS)-related overheating, fire or explosion events in the USA. Currently, ENDS fall into a regulatory void, leaving customers unprotected from shoddy manufacturing and malfunctioning batteries. However, given the much greater harm caused by conventional tobacco products, efforts to address injuries caused by malfunctioning ENDS should not derail progress on tobacco control measures that are likely to have a much larger public health impact.
