FDA Cracks Down on Sale of Unauthorized Disposable Vapes and Flavored E-Cigarettes.

The FDA has issued warning letters to dozens of retailers selling fruit- and candy-flavored disposable e-cigarettes, including the current best-selling brand, Elf Bar, which has also been cited in a separate report about thousands of calls to U.S. poison centers concerning e-cigarettes, mainly involving children under age 5. Despite the FDA's attempts to regulate the multibillion-dollar vaping industry, unauthorized e-cigarettes continue to launch, with the number of e-cigarette brands in the U.S. growing from 184 in early 2020 to 269 by late 2022.

The rise in unauthorized e-cigarettes coincided with the growing popularity of disposable e-cigarettes, which accounted for nearly 52% of vaping sales by late last year.
