The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating 127 reports of people suffering seizures or other neurological symptoms after using e-cigarettes, the agency announced Wednesday.
"Although we still don't have enough information to determine if e-cigarettes are causing these reported incidents, we believe it's critical to keep the public updated on the information we've received based on the agency's initial request for reports earlier this year," Dr. Ned Sharpless, the acting FDA commissioner, said in a statement Wednesday.
"We know that nicotine isn’t a harmless substance, especially in the developing brains of our youth," Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the then-FDA commissioner, and Dr. Amy Abernethy, the agency's deputy commissioner, said in a joint statement at the time."But we’ve also been clear that, even for adults, e-cigarettes are not risk free."
