www.buy-cheapcigarettes.com – FDA Warning Letter

The FDA Center for Tobacco Products issued a Warning Letter to http://www.buy-cheapcigarettes.com after reviewing their website and determining that their cigarette products are offered for sale in the United States. The FDA found multiple violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).

Firstly, numerous products, including "Bond Special Selection" and "Marlboro Gold," were identified as "modified risk tobacco products" because they are advertised using descriptors like "Lights" or "Ultra Lights." Under section 911(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the FD&C Act, such products require an FDA order for sale, which was not in effect. Consequently, these products are adulterated under section 902(8) of the FD&C Act.

Secondly, several cigarette products, such as "Aroma Rich Apple" and "Richmond Cherry," were found to purport to contain artificial or natural characterizing flavors. Section 907(a)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act prohibits such flavors (other than tobacco or menthol) in cigarettes. Therefore, these flavored products are adulterated under section 902(5) of the FD&C Act. If they do not contain a characterizing flavor, they are misbranded under section 903(a)(1) or 903(a)(7)(A) for false or misleading labeling/advertising.
