US - Federal: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
issued marketing denial orders (MDOs) to Shenzhen Yibo Technology for 65 disposable e-cigarettes marketed as “MNGO Disposable Stick”. The products involved include flavours such as tobacco, menthol, pink lemonade, strawberry mango, watermelon freeze and iced banana, with each flavour offered in a range of nicotine concentrations from 2% to 6%. The MDOs also include several “clear” flavour products that were described by Shenzhen Yibo Technology as flavourless or unflavoured. The FDA said the data submitted in the company’s applications showed these products contained ingredients that are flavour enhancers or are known to impart a menthol or mint flavour. The products appeal to youth, the FDA said, citing the
2023 National Youth Tobacco Survey, which found nine out of ten current e-cigarette users reported using flavoured e-cigarettes – with fruit flavours being the most popular.
