For the most part, the agencies have been focused on protecting children and young people from the dangers of nicotine and tobacco products by cautioning manufacturers, distributors and retailers of e-liquid products against using labeling, packaging and/or advertising that resembles children’s food products, like juice boxes, candies or cookies.

The warning letters were sent in furtherance of the FDA and FTC’s efforts to protect young people from the dangers of nicotine and tobacco products. Read More ›

FDA Steps Up Enforcement on Unapproved Dietary Supplement Claims
FDA regulations prohibit making drug claims for dietary supplement products even if such claims are supported by scientific evidence.
