The FDA issued a Warning Letter to Vapors Inc. d/b/a Vapors of Alabama Arab on February 17, 2022, following a review of submissions and inspection records. The company manufactures and distributes e-liquid products, which are deemed tobacco products under the FD&C Act and subject to FDA jurisdiction.

The primary violation identified is the manufacturing, sale, and/or distribution of "Vapors Inc Banana 6mg 10ml e-liquid product" without the required premarket marketing authorization.

The company, a registered manufacturer with over 1,800 listed products, is responsible for ensuring all products comply with the FD&C Act.

Vapors Inc. must submit a written response within 15 working days detailing actions taken to address violations, including discontinuing the sale/distribution of
