CueCig – FDA Warning Letter, Nov 5, 2019

On October 24, 2019, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to CueCig after reviewing their social media accounts (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) and website (cuecig.com). The FDA determined that CueCig's e-liquid products, specifically Nic Salts Grape Soda Shake and Vape e-Juice by Airship, Nic Salts 555 Gold Shake and Vape e-Juice by Airship, and Nic Salts Watermelon Ninja e-Juice by Airship, are misbranded under section 903(a)(7)(B) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387c(a)(7)(B)).

The violation stems from the failure of CueCig's website advertising and social media posts to include the required nicotine warning statement: "WARNING: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical." This is a violation of 21 CFR 1143.3(b), which mandates this warning for advertising of covered tobacco products like e-liquids. Examples of violative posts were identified from June 19, 21, and 22, 2019.

CueCig is required to immediately correct this and similar violations across all advertising platforms. Failure to comply may result in further FDA actions, including civil money penalties, no-tobacco-sale orders, criminal prosecution, seizure,
