United States
U.S. airlines are required to have EpiPens on airplanes.
Infact verdict: False (0/100).
The claim that U.S. airlines are required to have EpiPens on airplanes is inaccurate. Currently, airlines are mandated to carry epinephrine in vials, not EpiPen autoinjectors. Advocacy efforts are ongoing to update regulations to require EpiPens, but this has not yet been enacted into law. Therefore, the claim does not reflect current regulations.

Regulations
U.S. airlines must have EpiPens on airplanes.
Despite advocacy efforts, current regulations require only vials of epinephrine, not EpiPens. There is no legal requirement for U.S. airlines to carry EpiPen autoinjectors at this time.
