According to a report by Pix11 on October 17th, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has filed a new lawsuit against several e-cigarette companies along with Judge Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix.
Adam Adams filed a federal lawsuit in July against four e-cigarette distributors, alleging illegal marketing targeting minors. Now, the city government has made a request for an injunction, demanding these companies to cease product distribution in New York City.
Adam asserted, "Our government will not turn a blind eye when these companies violate our laws, sell illegal products, and endanger our children. I caution any company that continues to sell and distribute these products that if you prioritize profits over the well-being of our citizens, we will not hesitate to hold you accountable."
Federal health authorities have stated that flavors such as "strawberry milkshake," "cola," and "iced coconut juice" are luring children into using excessive amounts of nicotine.
New York law explicitly prohibits the sale of flavored tobacco products, yet investigators have recently found these products in at least 200 stores across the city, according to their report.
