The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued a warning letter to Electric Lotus LLC for selling nicotine-containing e-liquids used in e-cigarettes with labeling and/or advertising that cause them to resemble kid-friendly food products, such as cereal, candy and peanut butter and jelly. The action is part of the agency’s ongoing effort to protect kids from tobacco products.
Electric Lotus ‒ a manufacturer, distributor and retailer, based in Redlands, California ‒ was also cited for illegally selling products to a minor, for failing to list its products with the FDA and for selling e-liquids without the required FDA premarket authorization. The warning letter follows actions taken this summer by the FDA—many in partnership with the Federal Trade Commission—against 17 other makers and sellers of nicotine-containing e-liquids that looked like juice boxes, candy, and cookies and had the potential to be confused with these ordinary products by a child.
