Why are 0% Nicotine labelled as harmful?

[PeterWar]

Greetings,

I've bought some e-liquids at a local store, I always vape VG/PG at 0% nicotine. Today I've found that some of the liquids I bought have a hazard warning printed in the label (it read Xn: toxic for the skin).

I've done some reading and found that Xn warnings are quite appropriate for eliquids containing nicotine buy I don't understand why some manufacturers put warnings on nicotine free eliquids?

Last but not least, how can something harmful for your skin be safe to vape?

Many thanks in advance!

I don't have much information on why that is, but I've seen the same thing on zero nicotine bottles. I would assume the bottle labels are produced in large quantities all with warning labels for the purpose of efficiency. Being related to nicotine liquid, although not containing any, I think it's reasonable to still have it on there.

As for being harmful, I wouldn't think zero nicotine liquids to be dangerous when in contact with skin. I'm sure there's some info somewhere on it.

sounds like basic lawsuit protection boilerplate.

If someone at the bottling station were to grab the wrong reel of labels, it's safer for him to grab one with the warning than to get the one without. It's most likely a production run of generic labels with the content to be filled in later.

Unless the zero nic bottles are filled in a completely separate area, the warning covers them in case of cross contamination.

What they said.

Also, nicotine isn't "harmful to the skin" but it can be toxic in high doses and can be absorbed through the skin.

if there is only one label and not and add on warning sticker
its to save money,prevent confusion and cover future liability's.

For the same reason NON-alcoholic beer has alcohol warnings on it. Because some Government pin-heads, who know better than you, what is good for you, SAID SO.

No one is really willing to say that vaping Pg, Vg, and flavoring agents are completely harmless to vape. Long term studies still await.

It's called covering their .... ! ...meaning they are not liable if it is hazardous or not to your health !
Same as McDonald's putting a warning on their cups for hot beverage so they can't be sued !

I would venture to say that it looks good on our behalf. Opponents are always arguing that e juice bottles are targeted towards the younger crowd...including children. That said, anyone who has a child who attempts to eat or drink a liquid contained in a bottle with a danger warning on it, has a much larger issue on their hands.

CYA - cover you a.... Vape on. You'll be fine.

Nobody has claimed vaping anything is "safe."

Vaping is as safe as going to a dance club !

Of course vaping won't be as safe as breathing alpine air... I personaly find toxicity claims with 0% nicotine eliquid quite missleading though!
