Discuss this record with AI
The FDA's Center for Tobacco Products issued a Warning Letter to cigarettes-cheaper.com after reviewing their website and determining that cigarette products were offered for sale or distribution in the United States. The FDA found several violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).
**Violations and Deficiencies:**
1. **Modified Risk Tobacco Product Violations:** The website sold or distributed cigarette products using descriptors like "light," "mild," or "low," or claiming reduced levels of/exposure to substances (e.g., "lower nicotine levels," "low tar and nicotine"). Examples include "Chesterfield Classic (Lights) Blue," "Davidoff Gold (Lights)," and "George Karelia & Son Superior Virginia" (described as having "lower nicotine levels"). These products are classified as "modified risk tobacco products" under section 911(b)(2)(A) of the FD&C Act. Selling these without an FDA order in effect under section 911(g) of the FD&C Act renders them adulterated under section 902(8) of the FD&C Act.
2. **Flavored Cigarette Violations:** The website offered "Kiss Superslims Fresh Apple" and "Sobranie Mints Slim" cigarettes, which purport to contain artificial or natural characterizing flavors. Section 907(a)(1)(A) of the FD&C
