Warning Letters Issued Over Unauthorized E-Liquid Sales

FDA Issues Warning Letters Ordering Removal of Unauthorized E-Liquid Products from Market

U.S. Food and Drug Administration Continues to Monitor Internet Markets for Unauthorized Vapor Products

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued a number of warning letters to businesses selling e-liquids, ordering the removal of products from the market which do not have active or prospective premarket authorization through FDA’s Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) process.

The recent warning letters, issued in January 2021, are the first time FDA has issued such warning letters concerning unauthorized electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) products where no pending PMTA exists for the underlying products.

The director of FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, Mitch Zeller, J.D., stated, “These warning letters are the result of continued surveillance and internet monitoring for violations of tobacco laws and regulations. We want to make clear to all tobacco product manufacturers and retailers that the FDA is keeping a close watch on the marketplace and will hold companies accountable for breaking the law.”
