FDA WARNING_LETTER - vapepengood.com

On April 9, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to vapepengood.com, an online retailer based in Flushing, New York. The notification followed a regulatory review of the company"s website, which determined that the firm was offering unauthorized nicotine pouch products for sale and distribution in the United States. Specifically, the FDA identified Zyn Icy Blackcurrant XX Strong and Zyn Red Fruits Nicotine Pouches as being marketed without the necessary federal approval. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, any nicotine-containing product introduced or modified after February 15, 2007, is considered a "new tobacco product" and requires a premarket authorization order to be sold legally. Because the retailer failed to obtain this authorization, the products are classified as adulterated and misbranded. This regulatory framework is designed to ensure that all tobacco products meet established public health standards before entering the market. The FDA has mandated that vapepengood.com take prompt action to rectify these violations. The company must provide a written response within 15 working days outlining the specific steps taken to stop the sale of the unauthorized products and describing their plan for long-term compliance. The letter warns that failure to comply could lead to further enforcement actions, such as civil money penalties, product seizures, or permanent injunctions. This enforcement action highlights the FDA"s ongoing oversight of the online tobacco market to prevent the distribution of unvetted nicotine products.
