FDA Continues Crackdown on Unauthorized E-Cigarettes

FDA issued warning letters to online retailers for selling unauthorized e-cigarette products favored by youth like Breeze and Mr. Fog. Companies had 15 days to respond and address violations, or face injunctions and penalties. Follow-up inspections showed some retailers failed to comply, resulting in a fine of $20,678 per retailer. FDA has conducted multiple inspections and filed complaints against manufacturers and retailers for selling unauthorized tobacco products. The recent penalties align with previous fines sought.
