## Details

- Record Type: WARNING_LETTER
- Company Name: KA Vapes, LLC d/b/a Kickin’ Ash
- Inspection Date: 2022-08-24
- Product Type: Tobacco
- Office Name: Center for Tobacco Products
- Summary: The FDA issued a Warning Letter to KA Vapes, LLC d/b/a Kickin’ Ash, on August 24, 2022, for manufacturing and distributing e-liquid products without required marketing authorization. The FDA determined that Kickin’ Ash Friendzone 12mg/30ml e-liquid is a "new tobacco product" as it was not commercially marketed in the U.S. as of February 15, 2007.

Under sections 910(a) and 910(c)(1)(A)(i) of the FD&C Act, new tobacco products require premarket authorization, a substantial equivalence order, or an exemption. Kickin’ Ash's product lacks such authorization, rendering it adulterated under section 902(6)(A) and misbranded under section 903(a)(6) of the FD&C Act due to the failure to provide required information under section 905(j). These actions constitute prohibited acts under sections 301(k) and 301(p).

The FDA requires prompt corrective action, including discontinuing the sale and distribution of the violative product and submitting a written response within 15 working days detailing compliance plans. Failure to comply may result in regulatory actions such as civil money penalties, seizure, or injunction.
