FDA Cracks Down on Vape Products

🚨 FDA Cracks Down on Vape Products Disguised as Tech Devices

The FDA has recently intensified its enforcement actions against e-cigarette products designed to resemble everyday tech gadgets, such as smartphones and gaming devices. These products, often appealing to youth, have been deemed unauthorized and illegal for sale in the United States.

In October 2024, the FDA issued warning letters to nine online retailers and one manufacturer for distributing these unauthorized disposable e-cigarettes. The designs not only mimic smart technology but also include features like games, music playback, and customizable wallpapers, making them particularly attractive to minors .​

Brian King, Ph.D., M.P.H., director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, stated, “These products may resemble smart devices, but there’s nothing smart about them. They’re illegal to sell and a flagrant attempt to target kids.”​

What This Means for Your Business:

• If you're manufacturing, importing, or selling e-cigarette products without FDA authorization, especially those with youth-appealing designs, you're at significant risk of enforcement actions.​

• The FDA has made it clear that failure to comply can result in injunctions, seizures, and civil money penalties.​
