The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted warning letters on June 28 to two e-cigarette businesses, VAPORIZIT LLC and Elk River Vapor Shop, for selling e-cigarette products not previously on the market.

According to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, new tobacco products, including vapes, need a pre-market authorization order to be sold in the United States.
