Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because this would be a decision for manufacturers and not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition calling on the Government to provide funding for research into such epi pens or for them to be provided free on the NHS if those are things you would like to see happen.
