According to information disclosed by the FDA, when the agency identifies what it considers to be serious violations of federal requirements, it notifies the relevant parties.

 

This notification typically takes the form of a warning letter, which highlights issues such as poor manufacturing practices, problematic product efficacy claims, or incorrect usage instructions. The letter provides companies or individuals with an opportunity to address the FDA’s concerns, requiring a response within a specified timeframe. This response may include a corrective plan, after which the FDA will conduct follow-up inspections to ensure that corrective measures are sufficient.

 

If a company or individual disagrees with the FDA's assessment, they have the opportunity to present their reasons and supporting information to the FDA. These communications and other actions between the FDA and the letter recipient may alter the regulatory status of the issues discussed in the letter.

 

As of October 30, 2024, the FDA has authorized 34 e-cigarette products and devices. The agency maintains a printable one-page flyer listing all authorized e-cigarette products, which retailers can reference to verify which products may be legally marketed and sold in the United States. Entities manufacturing, importing, selling, or distributing e-cigarettes without the necessary premarket authorization will face enforcement risks.
