WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Food and Drug Administration is sounding the alarm about tobacco products with seemingly kid-friendly packaging.
The FDA, along with the Federal Trade Commission, issued warning letters to 13 companies regarding nicotine-containing e-liquids that bear a striking resemblance to food products marketed toward kids. The e-liquid packaging mimics juice containers, candy boxes and cookies.
According to the FDA, if young children are exposed to nicotine in e-liquids they risk severe harm, such as death, seizure and coma.
The FDA identified the following products as targets of the warnings:
One Mad Hit Juice Box
Candy King Batch/Candy King Sour Worms
Patches by Candy Co.
Pink Sticks
V’Nilla Cookies & Milk
Whip’d Strawberry
Twirly Pop
Vape Heads Sour Smurf Sauce
FDA’s Youth Prevention Plan
