[41]      This concern was also noted in PHE's 2015 report, which found after analysis of multiple brands of ENDS liquid nicotine that there was significant inaccuracies of nicotine content in the solutions as opposed to what was labelled on the product: Public Health England, E‑cigarettes: an evidence update, 19 August 2015, pp 67-68.

[42]      World Health Organisation, Electronic nicotine delivery systems, 1 September 2014, pp 3‑4.The WHO noted that data relating to these incidents is difficult to obtain, as many countries do not record such cases. However, it notes that there have been reports from the United States and the United Kingdom where nicotine overdose or poisoning has occurred.
