Illegal E-Cigarette Sales Targeted by AG Enforcement Efforts
by
Cozen O'Connor
A group of 29 Republican state and territorial AGs
sent
a letter to federal officials and agencies urging them stop the marketing and sale of illegal Chinese e-cigarettes in the United States.
In the
letter
, the AGs advocate for increased roles for Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security in enforcement, designate a federal leader for coordinated efforts on this issue, and prosecute and impose penalties for violators.
In other enforcement news, Minnesota AG Keith Ellison
settled
with an e-cigarette company that allegedly sold products that mimic highlighters and are designed to be easily concealed and used by children in violation of state consumer protection laws.
We have previously reported on the New York AG’s
lawsuit
against 13 e-cigarette companies, coordinated
efforts
by a bipartisan group of ten AGs, and C.’s
settlement
with a company that allegedly facilitated the sale of Zyn flavored nicotine pouches.
