FDA Seeks Fines for Unauthorized Tobacco Sales from Retailers
FDA seeks fines from 11 retailers for unauthorized tobacco sales, warning letters ignored, total penalty $20,678 each.

On September 23, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it is seeking fines against two physical retail establishments and nine online retailers. The FDA had previously issued warning letters to these retailers for selling unauthorized tobacco products, but follow-up inspections found that they had not corrected their violations. Therefore, the FDA is now seeking civil fines of $20,678 from each retailer.


So far, the FDA has filed civil penalty lawsuits against 70 manufacturers and 160 retailers, accusing them of distributing or selling unauthorized tobacco products.
