Hi Five Ohm Vape Co – FDA Warning Letter

The FDA's Center for Tobacco Products issued a Warning Letter to John Foronda regarding the website http://www.hifiveohmvape.com, which sells e-liquid products in the U.S. The FDA determined that "Jack Hammers Birthday Cake e-liquid" is a tobacco product under section 201(rr) of the FD&C Act.
