Prior to these complaints, this packaging had never been reported an issue. In response to the complaints, we are switching to a heavier mil. pouch/ package from a different supplier (the same pouches used to satisfy the US EPA's new CRP requirements). Once PMRA approves our amendment, we will begin using them for Canadian market Vaportape. Images of damaged pouches available by request.
