Other -: labels/instructions — reported risk evidence
The acquired cohort contains 4 official alert references published from 2006-01-24 to 2008-10-31. This page compares 2 selected, distinct product descriptions, including electronic cigarette / nicotine inhaler. The other 2 records still contribute to the cohort counts but are not displayed: descriptions may repeat, lack the display inputs, or fall outside the eight-description display limit. The recorded risks raise separate evidence questions about labels/instructions. Compare the product features and dated findings below before scoping an investigation. These historical observations do not determine your product’s compliance or a market failure rate.

Electronic cigarette / nicotine inhaler · 1280/08
Report published 2008-10-31 · notifying country United Kingdom · reported origin People's Republic of China
Reported product description
23 x 7 x 5 cm outer box with contents including one ‘electronic cigarette’, a spare battery, nicotine atomised cartridges, charger and plug adaptor. [1]
Reported risk explanation
The product poses a health risk to consumers, and particularly children, having skin contact or swallowing nicotine soaked cartridges. According to CHIP 2002 (1999/45/EC), preparations containing nicotine should be marked "Highly Toxic", "Toxic", or "Harmful" if they contain at least 0.1% nicotine, and must be accompanied by safety phrases such as "Toxic if in contact with skin or swallowed". Whilst this product has been sent for analysis and test results are awaited, the declarations of nicotine content on the product itself claim nominal 18 mg content for even the medium strength cartridge. On this basis, as regards CHIP 2002, the product would be placed in at least the TOXIC category and would require numerous warnings concerning risks, tactile warnings and possibly, for the higher strength cartridges, child-resistant packaging, all of which are absent. In addition to this, the product has no specific warnings about the dangers posed to users, maximum dosage, or any information about the potential danger to children from using the product. [1]

Source selection, exclusions and calculation method
Filter the acquired, completely parsed English weekly XML releases. Deduplicate official alert references. Group by product category and the complete set of conditional evidence-question topics supported by actual risk text. Risk-label combinations remain recorded cohort facets and do not create buyer intents. Brand, product name, model, origin, notifying country, measurement-only changes and different wording of the same questions do not create intents. Unrecognized mechanisms stay internal for enrichment. Count report years and notifying countries deterministically. Display at most eight newest descriptions with at least 40 characters after whitespace normalization, nonempty reported measures and distinct casefolded descriptions; break date ties by official identifier. All cohort records count even if their description is shorter or not displayed. This is not a representative sample. Counts concern this acquired corpus only.
One acquired version per official public alert reference. Display at most eight newest distinct product descriptions whose normalized whitespace-collapsed text contains at least 40 characters and has nonempty reported measures; ties sort by official identifier. The complete cohort includes shorter descriptions. This is an explicit display selection, not a representative sample.
2 distinct descriptions displayed; 2 cohort records not displayed. Missing fields: {'description': 2}.
These are selected, dated enforcement observations in the acquired weekly reports, not a random market sample, market-wide failure rate, proof of current product status, or a determination about your product. Notification country is not a complete sales-market or jurisdiction-coverage field. A quoted legal/standard reference is the report’s statement, not independently verified current law or a mandatory test panel.

Turn the reported failure mechanism into a scoped investigation
Use this checklist to gather your business or product details before speaking with a specialist. The items below explain what to record and suggest useful supporting documents. You can add your own answers in the editable project brief.
Labels, instructions and actual use — what evidence do we have?
Capture the exact label/instruction revision and destination/use context. Compare the information gap described in the report with your own product and current sector requirements, keeping a reported defect separate from a universal wording obligation.
Useful evidence: Current labels/instructions, revision and market/translation records, use/risk information and reviewed applicable requirements.
Can we trace the affected component, formula or design revision across our supplied products?
Compare the reported descriptions with your own identifiers and change records. Treat missing or “Unknown” source fields as unresolved; they do not establish that no action was needed.
Useful evidence: Product identifiers, revision history, supplier/batch traceability and market/operator records.
Who would own an evidence review and any resulting corrective-action decision?
Read the reported measures as historical observations. Establish your own operator roles, sector-specific rules, decision owner and communication responsibilities before adopting another case’s response.
Conditional: Product-risk evidence and operator-role review — Compare the recorded product features and failure mechanism with your product. Confirm the applicable product regime, deciding evidence, operator responsibilities and justified next steps. This does not assume that GPSR or a representative appointment applies to every alert category.
Questions for providers
Which specific product features and reported risk mechanism make these cases relevant or irrelevant to our product?
What current legal, standards or scientific sources support your proposed investigation criteria, and what cannot be concluded from these dated alerts?
Which existing evidence can answer the risk question, what additional work is justified, and who owns any resulting corrective-action decision?
