FDA WARNING_LETTER - Cajun Vapes LLC - October 26, 2023

The FDA issued a Warning Letter to Cajun Vapes LLC on October 26, 2023, following a review of inspection records. The FDA determined that Cajun Vapes LLC manufactures and distributes e-liquid products, including "Strawberry Cheesecake," which are considered tobacco products under section 201(rr) of the FD&C Act, as they contain nicotine and are intended for human consumption.

The primary violation identified is the marketing of "new tobacco products" without the required premarket authorization. A "new tobacco product" is defined as any tobacco product not commercially marketed in the U.S. as of February 15, 2007, or any modified product marketed after this date.

Prohibited acts include holding for sale adulterated or misbranded products (section 301(k)) and failing to provide required reports (section 30
