The Board has authority to ban the sale of vapor products containing vitamin E acetate in Washington. At our March 11 public meeting, the Board adopted a second emergency rule to ban the sale of vapor products containing vitamin E acetate. The first emergency rule was adopted by members in November 2019. Members discussed new and updated data regarding lung injury and considered the regulatory requirements in the new emergency rule as they relate to the first emergency rule. The second emergency rule is effective March 19 and is in effect for 120 days. The ban applies to the sale, offer for sale, or possession with intent to sell or offer for sale vapor products containing vitamin E acetate at any location or by means including by telephone or other method of voice transmission, the mail or any other delivery service or the internet or other online service. More information available on the vapor products rule web page.
