www.cigaretteshouse.com – FDA Warning Letter

The FDA's Center for Tobacco Products issued a Warning Letter to Song Lung after reviewing the website http://www.cigaretteshouse.com, which offers cigarette products for sale in the United States. The FDA determined these products are tobacco products under section 201(rr) of the FD&C Act.

The letter identifies two primary violations:

1. **Modified Risk Tobacco Product Violations:** Several cigarette products, including "Donskoy Tabac Lights" and "Chesterfield Red/Blue/Bronze/Agate/Ivory," are advertised using descriptors like "light" or "mild." Under section 911(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the FD&C Act, such products are classified as "modified risk tobacco products." Introducing these products into interstate commerce without an FDA order under section 911(g) constitutes adulteration under section 902(8) of the FD&C Act.

2. **Flavored Cigarette Violations:** Products like "Esse Aura Green Apple," "Kiss Strawberry Super Slim," and "Richmond Cherry" are offered for sale, purporting to contain artificial or natural characterizing flavors. Section 907(a)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act prohibits cigarettes from containing such flavors (other than tobacco or menthol). Violating this provision renders the products adulterated under section 902(5) of the FD&C Act.
