FDA warns Juul on sales to minors
The Food and Drug Administration warned Juul Labs and other makers of vaping devices that it would remove their products from the market unless the companies proved that they can keep them from minors. The FDA gave them 60 days to submit plans and also sent warning letters to 1,100 stores, including 7-Eleven, Walgreens and Shell gas stations, about selling e-cigarettes to those under 18 years of age. The move represents the path the agency is trying to steer between preserving the products as an alternative to cigarettes, while preventing them from becoming a fresh source of nicotine addiction, especially among youth.
