FDA WARNING_LETTER - West Coast Vape Supply, Inc - June 13, 2024

The FDA issued a Warning Letter to Alham Benyameen of West Coast Vape Supply, Inc. on June 12, 2024, following a review of their website, https://westcoastvapesupply.com. The FDA determined that the company offers for sale or distribution in the U.S. electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) and e-liquid products that are "new tobacco products" lacking required premarket authorization.

Specifically, the products "Cereal Trip Ejuice by Bad Drip 60ML," "Don’t Care Bear Ejuice by Bad Drip 60ML," and "Funky Republic FI3000 Disposable Vape 3000 Puffs - Apple Watermelon" were identified as new tobacco products not commercially marketed before February 15, 2007, and without FDA marketing authorization orders. This renders them adulterated under section 902(6)(A) of the FD&C Act and misbranded under section 903(a)(6) for not providing required information under section 905(j).

The FDA also expressed concern that the packaging design of the Bad Drip Labs e-liquid products imitates prescription pill bottles, which is likely to appeal to youth and could lead to accidental ingestion. The letter emphasizes that all tobacco products containing nicotine from any source are subject to FDA jurisdiction and must comply with the FD&C Act.
