The FDA's review of the website found products like "Cereal Trip by Bad Drip Labs," "Don’t Care Bear by Bad Drip Labs," and "EB Design (Elf Bar) TE6000 Hawaii Punch" being sold.

These products are considered "new tobacco products" under section 910(a) of the FD&C Act because they were not commercially marketed in the U.S. as of February 15, 2007, and lack the required premarket authorization order. This renders them adulterated under section 902(6)(A) and misbranded under section 903(a)(6) of the FD&C Act.
