Officials investigating a mysterious outbreak of lung disease — more than 200 cases reported in 25 states — detected an oil derived from Vitamin E in marijuana vaping products used in different parts of the country. NYSDOH - New York State Health Department
State and federal health officials investigating mysterious lung illnesses linked to vaping have found the same chemical in samples of marijuana products used by people sickened in different parts of the country and who used different brands of products in recent weeks.
The chemical is an oil derived from vitamin E. Investigators at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found the oil in cannabis products in samples collected from patients who fell ill across the United States. FDA officials shared that information with state health officials during a telephone briefing this week, according to several officials who took part in the call.
