"FDA Cracks Down on Retailers Selling Youth-Appealing E-Cigarettes"
The FDA has issued warning letters to 189 retailers for selling unauthorized tobacco products, specifically Elf Bar and Esco Bars products, which are disposable e-cigarettes that come in flavors known to appeal to youth. Two studies published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reinforce concerns about the risks of Elf Bar products among young people. The FDA continuously monitors the marketplace and took these actions as emerging marketplace data led to concerns over their appeal and risks to young people.
