FDA Issues Warning to E-Cigarette Manufacturers February 15, 2021 In a press release on Monday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it has issued warning letters to 10 different companies which both manufacture and sell electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) products, like e-cigarettes. The letters said that the firms had not received pre-market authorization to sell e-liquid products and so they are currently being sold and distributed illegally. The FDA said these letters are the first set to be sent to companies who missed the September 9, 2020 deadline for submitting a premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) but are continuing sales regardless. A court previously ruled that manufacturers of new tobacco and e-liquid products developed since August 2016 needed to submit a PMTA before the 2020 deadline.
