FREDERICTON — A New Brunswick mother says her nine-year-old daughter was hospitalized after consuming e-cigarette fluids from a brightly labelled “Unicorn Milk” bottle. She says her daughter and several friends found the purple tube with a rainbow on it in a Fredericton playground on Monday. She says the image of a pink and purple unicorn led them to believe it was candy and they ingested a few drops. L’Hoir says she suffered anxiety and a sleepless night due to her child’s illness and wants assurances a new federal law will prohibit the child-friendly labels and odours. A federal bill is before the Senate that would ban labels that appeal to children or which use fictional animals as an “endorsement,” but the bill hasn’t become law yet.
