FDA WARNING_LETTER - www.cheap-cig.com

The FDA's Center for Tobacco Products reviewed http://www.cheap-cig.com and found that "Aroma Rich Apple," "Aroma Rich Rum & Cherry," and "Kiss Fresh Apple SS" cigarettes are offered for sale in the U.S. These products are considered tobacco products under section 201(rr) of the FD&C Act.

The FDA determined these products are adulterated under section 902(5) or misbranded under section 903(a)(1) or 903(a)(7)(A) of the FD&C Act. The violation stems from section 907(a)(1)(A), which prohibits cigarettes from containing artificial or natural flavors (other than tobacco or menthol) that are characterizing flavors. Since September 22, 2009, such flavored cigarettes are adulterated. If these products do not contain a characterizing flavor, their labeling/advertising is false and misleading, making them misbranded.

The company must immediately correct these and similar violations to comply with the FD&C Act. Failure to comply may result in civil money penalties, no-tobacco-sale orders, criminal prosecution, seizure, and/or injunction. Adulterated and misbranded tobacco products imported into the U.S. are subject to detention and refusal. A written response detailing corrective actions, including discontinuation dates of violative activities and a compliance plan, is required within 1
