FDA WARNING_LETTER - cheapcigarettes24.com

The FDA's Center for Tobacco Products reviewed the website http://www.cheapcigarettes24.com and found cigarette products offered for sale in the U.S. that violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).

The primary violations are: 1. **Modified Risk Tobacco Products (MRTPs) Sold Without Authorization:** The website sells "light" or "ultra light" cigarettes (e.g., Marlboro Gold, Winston Blue, Pall Mall Azure) by using these descriptors in product names or advertising. Under section 911(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the FD&C Act, such products are MRTPs and require an FDA order for sale, which was not in effect. This renders them adulterated under section 902(8) of the FD&C Act. 2. **Flavored Cigarettes:** The website offers flavored cigarettes (e.g., Aroma Rich Apple, Kiss Mohito, Richmond Cherry) which are prohibited as characterizing flavors in cigarettes under section 907(a)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act. These products are adulterated under section 902(5) of the FD&C Act. If they do not contain the stated flavors, they are misbranded under section 903(a)(1) or 903(a)(7)(A) for false or misleading labeling/advertising
