No place to Hyde as New York City goes to court in bid to stamp out flavoured vapes

New York City is taking legal action to try to stop Magellan Technology and three other companies from selling flavoured e-cigarettes, accusing them of violating “nearly every law” related to the marketing, distribution and sale of the products.

The lawsuit asks a federal judge to bar Magellan – which sells devices under the trade name Hyde – Ecto World, Star Vape, and Mahant Krupa 56 from selling “flavored disposable vaping devices” in the city. It also seeks a large amount of money in damages “to be determined at trial”.
