FTC and FDA Send Warning Letters for Social Media Endorsements of Nicotine Products without Health Warnings

摘要

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent four warning letters to firms that manufacture and market flavored e-liquid products. The letters cite postings by influencers on social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter that endorse the target companies' products, without any warnings that the products contain nicotine, an addictive chemical.
