The FDA found that several products were adulterated under section 902(8) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387b(8)) because they were promoted as modified risk tobacco products without an FDA order.

Section 911(a) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387k(a)) prohibits the introduction or delivery of such products into interstate commerce without an FDA order under section 911(g).

The FDA requires immediate correction of these violations and all necessary actions to bring tobacco products into compliance. Failure to comply may result in civil money penalties, no-
