FDA Is Investigating <br />Seizures Linked to E-Cigarettes Since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) <br />announced the probe in April, the number of <br />investigated cases has expanded by almost 100. The 127 cases occurred <br />between 2010 and 2019. They included instances of <br />fainting and other episodes <br />possibly related to seizures. Outgoing FDA Commissioner <br />Scott Gottlieb has been outspoken <br />on the possible dangers of e-cigarettes, <br />referring to teen vaping as an "epidemic." Through an online portal, the <br />FDA is encouraging the public <br />to come forward with "unexpected <br />health or product issues.” Ned Sharpless, FDA Commissioner, via Gizmodo Gottlieb called the uptick in <br />reported cases of seizures possibly <br />linked to vaping "concerning."
