Secretary
Azar Praises Unprecedented FDA Enforcement Actions Against
Retailers and Manufacturers over Youth E-Cig Sales
On Wednesday, HHS Secretary Alex Azar issued the below
statement regarding the FDA’s largest coordinated enforcement
effort in agency history. FDA issued more than 1,300 warning
letters and civil money penalty complaints to retailers who
illegally sold e-cigarettes to minors.
“No child should be using any tobacco or
nicotine-containing product. We commend the FDA for the critical,
immediate and historic action to address the sale and marketing of
these products to kids, while it examines additional aggressive
steps to stem the troubling trend of their use among youth.”
