FDA WARNING_LETTER - LA EJUICE LLC, d/b/a Five Star Juice - August 22, 2025

The FDA issued a warning letter to LA EJUICE LLC, operating as Five Star Juice, located at 22873 Lockness Avenue, Torrance, CA. The inspection revealed that the company sells electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) in the U.S. without the required premarket authorization. These products fall under FDA regulation as tobacco products per the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), which was amended in 2022 to include nicotine products from any source.

The FDA identified specific products, such as the Pillow Talk Sour Control SC40000 20ML Disposable Device and Sour Control Sour Strawberry Dragon 5% (50mg), as lacking necessary marketing authorization, rendering them adulterated and misbranded under sections 902(6)(A) and 903(a)(6) of the FD&C Act. The company must ensure compliance with all applicable regulations, including proper labeling and advertising.

The FDA requires LA EJUICE LLC to submit a written response within 15 working days, detailing corrective actions taken, including ceasing the sale and distribution of non-compliant products. Failure to comply may result in regulatory actions, such as civil penalties or product seizures. The company is advised to address all violations promptly to avoid further enforcement actions.
