According to a report by AOL on April 27, the US federal government filed a lawsuit on Tuesday (23rd) against six e-cigarette companies (one of which is located in Columbus), accusing them or related individuals of illegally producing and selling electronic nicotine delivery system products.
Brian King, director of the Center for Tobacco Products at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), said, "Today's enforcement action represents a significant step by the FDA to prevent tobacco product manufacturers from breaking the law."
The lawsuit alleges that these companies have been producing and selling "e-cigarette nicotine delivery systems" without authorization from the FDA. Despite receiving notices requiring FDA authorization, these companies continued to act illegally. One of the Columbus-based companies mentioned in the lawsuit is Vapor Craft LLC, owned by Melissa D. Anderson.
Attorney Todd Swanson will represent the US government in court, Judge Clay Land will preside over the case.
