    The researchers tested flavored and “clear” versions of three of the most popular products — Esco Bar, Flum Pebble, and ELF Bar — and found “excessive emissions of toxic metallic elements” in the aerosols from each of them.

    All three of which are from the same company. I’m not seeing any information there about where these are manufactured, but if I guessed China, I probably wouldn’t be wrong.

      Are any not made there?

      Eta: I’m not sure this is a manufacturer as much as a dealer.

      Does this mean the emissions that are inhaled by the user, or the emissions that are exhaled?
