Under section 201(rr) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. § 321(rr)), these products are tobacco products because they are made or derived from tobacco or contain nicotine from any source, and are intended for human consumption. 1 Certain tobacco products, including ENDS products, are subject to FDA jurisdiction under section 901 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387a) and 21 C.F.R. § 1100.1, and are required to be in compliance with the requirements in the FD&C Act. Under section 906(d)(5) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387f(d)(5)), it is unlawful for any retailer 2 to sell a tobacco product to any person younger than 21 years of age. 3 This includes tobacco products containing nicotine from any source including cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, cigars, e-cigarettes, and nicotine pouches.

FDA has determined that your VIHO TRX 50K Puffs – Mango Tango ENDS product is misbranded under section 903(a)(7)(B) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387c(a)(7)(B)) because this product was sold to a person younger than 21 years of age. Specifically, during FDA’s investigation of https://ct-riecig.com, a person younger than 21 years of age purchased a VIHO TRX 50K Puffs – Mango Tango ENDS product from your website.
