Ok, thank goodness. I don't see Titanium Dioxide on Amarin's Label. Titanium Oxide "is" listed in Generics. This is a BIG DEAL.

Are you 100% sure that Vascepa('s capsule) does not have / contain titanium dioxide?

It is an ingredient / part of the generics' capsules but Amarin's Label does not contain any info about the ingredients / composition of Vascepa's capsule.

Someone recently sued the manufacturer of Snickers or Skittles? for having that ingredient. Something that the manufacturer either downplayed or didn't address. This lawsuit was recently filed.

Skittles was sued. However Vascepa is a drug Skittles is a food (except for the Beast ... it is a drug for him ).
The two category has different regulation and none of them has a "worldwide" standard rule.

e.g.: The titanium dioxide will be completely banned as a food additive in the European Union starting August 7, 2022. (France had previously banned the use of titanium dioxide in food starting in January 2020.) but will not ban the use of TD as a pharmaceutical ingredient ... On the otherhand, the titanium dioxide in food products is legal (e.g.) in the U.S.* and Canada.
* Since 1966, the Food and Drug Administration has recognized the use of titanium dioxide in human food as safe, so long as it doesn't exceed 1 percent of the food's weight.

It is not likely the TD will be banned for drugs in the foreseeable future as each affected medicinal product will need an individual review and assessment, which will require investigation of alternatives, product reformulation, generation of new data related to manufacture, dissolution and stability etc. and potentially new clinical data. ... The time needed to reformulate any product could be several years depending on the level of formulation and studies required, to be followed by the necessary regulatory procedures for assessment and approval. Requiring to replace TD in drugs will almost certainly cause significant medicines shortages and discontinuations/withdrawals ... TD is used very frequently for drugs, more than 90% of oral dosage forms contain titanium dioxide.

Best,
