The FDA letters of warning stated that the companies are in
violation of federal laws by making unsubstantiated claims about
the product, incompliant marketing standards to quit smoking and
for poor manufacturing practices.
Peter Michaels, CEO of USAcig, Inc., said, "Being in regulation
of the FDA is one of our top priorities. As a company, we
understand the importance of compliance in marketing standards,
quality control and claims of our products. In order to maintain
good standing with the FDA, we have recently redesigned our
packaging, clearly stating that our product is not a smoking
cessation and also removed all flavors except tobacco and menthol
from future sales and distribution."
Also today, FDA submitted a letter to the Electronic Cigarette
Association, stating the agency's intention to regulation
electronic cigarettes and related products in a manner consistent
with its mission of protecting the public health. The letter
outlines the regulatory pathway for marketing drug products in
compliance with the FDCA.
The determination of how the devices will be classified is still
not defined with the Food and Drug Administration.
