CT Vapors – FDA Warning Letter, Aug 6, 2019

On July 31, 2019, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Verdict Vapors, LLC, d/b/a MEGA E-Liquids, following a review of their website, https://www.verdictvapors.com. The FDA determined that the company's e-liquid products are tobacco products under section 201(rr) of the FD&C Act.
