After reports of apparent restrictions on a popular dessert product in New York made headlines, the state senator who sponsored the legislation says people were getting whipped into a frenzy over nothing.

Last week, local and national media reported on a law that many interpreted as a ban on sales of whipped cream in disposable spray canisters to anyone under the age of 21. But on Tuesday, state Sen. Joe Addabbo clarified in a statement that the law was only intended to restrict whipped cream chargers.

The legislation defines a whipped cream charger as a steel cylinder or cartridge filled with nitrous oxide. These chargers are sold separately as refills for rechargeable canisters of whipped cream.
