The government said it will begin enforcing safety management standards for stockpiled liquid e-cigarette products starting on the 28th.
The measure is intended to protect consumers during distribution of products manufactured or imported before the revised Tobacco Business Act took effect on the 24th.
Under the “Safety Management Standards for Stockpiled Liquid E-Cigarette Products,” businesses must clearly label and notify consumers that a product is pre-law inventory and provide key information, including nicotine content, on the packaging.
Businesses must also request testing for harmful substances before selling inventory products. The government may recommend halting sales of long-held inventory that remains in circulation for more than 12 months after the law’s effective date, as well as products sold by mail or through e-commerce.
In addition, businesses must provide accurate information to consumers under the Framework Act on Consumers and take steps to prevent harm caused by their products.
