FDA Posts New Warning Letter Webinar for Retailers

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has posted a new webinar to help online retailers respond to warning letters from regulatory agency’s Center for Tobacco Products (CTP).

The webinar provides an overview of warning letters and outlines the process for responding to a warning letter, such as corrective action taken by the firm to address any violations and its plan for maintaining compliance, according to an FDA release.

In the webinar, you will learn about:

• FDA’s internet and publication surveillance of tobacco products
• Examples of violations cited in warning letters sent to online tobacco product retailers
• Actions to take after receiving a warning letter

Regulators in the United States began cracking down on online retailers selling vaping products that are attractive to youth. The Food and Drug Administration last week issued warning letters to 16 (the agency reported 15, but lists 16) online retailers for selling and/or distributing unauthorized e-cigarette products packaged to look like cartoon characters, school supplies, toys, and drinks.
