FDA, DOJ Seize 45,000 Illegal E-Cigarettes Worth $700K in California
Apr 30, 2024, 07:39 PM
In a coordinated effort between the FDA and the Department of Justice, the U.S. Marshals Service seized over $700,000 worth of unauthorized e-cigarettes from a warehouse in California. The operation resulted in the confiscation of 45,000 units, primarily consisting of flavored, disposable products such as Elf Bar. This action follows a warning letter sent by the authorities in May 2023, signaling a crackdown on illegal vape products in the supply chain. Congressman Raja supported the seizure, viewing it as a positive step towards addressing legal violations in the tobacco industry.
