The FDA Center for Tobacco Products issued a Warning Letter to http://www.cigsonlineshop.com after reviewing its website, determining that cigarette products offered for sale to U.S. customers are in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).

These products are adulterated under section 902(8) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387b(8)) because they violate section 911(a) (21 U.S.C. § 387k(a)) by being introduced into interstate commerce without a required FDA order under section 911(g).

These products are adulterated under section 902(5) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387b(5)) for containing characterizing flavors other than tobacco or menthol, violating section 907(a)(1)(A) (21 U.S.C. §
