The violations include: 1. **Modified Risk Tobacco Product Violations:** Several cigarette products (Lord Extra "Low Tar," Lord Extra (hard box) "Low Nicotine," Lord 100 "Low Tar," Lord 100 (soft box) "Low Nicotine") are described as having reduced levels of substances. These are considered "modified risk tobacco products" under section 911(b)(2)(A)(i) of the FD&C Act and are being sold without a required FDA order under section 911(g).

2. **Flavored Cigarette Violations:** Products like Calume Cherry, Denim Mint, Unitas Excellent Lemon Mint, Unitas Excellent Exotic Mango, Oris Slims Double Apple, Oris Strawberry, Springwater Cherry, Style Super Slims Mint, Unitas Excellent Sweetie (strawberry), and West Lemon Fresh are offered with characterizing flavors. Section 907(a)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act prohibits cigarettes from containing artificial or natural characterizing flavors (other than tobacco or menthol). These products
