FDA weighs safety review for inhalable caffeine product AeroShot
FDA officials plan to examine whether inhalable caffeine sold in lipstick sized canisters is safe for consumers and if the manufacturer correctly labeled it as a dietary supplement. AeroShot, launched in Massachusetts and New York last month and now in France, uses a powder inhaled through the mouth with each canister containing B vitamins and 100 milligrams of caffeine. Inventor David Edwards, a Harvard biosystems professor, defends the product as safe and notes it contains no taurine or other additives common in energy drinks.
