Colorado e-cigarette company settles with FDA, DOJ on unapproved products

A federal court ordered a Colorado company to stop manufacturing, distributing or selling unauthorized vaping products.

Earlier this month, a complaint against Boosted LLC, which markets itself as Boosted E-Juice, and its owner, Cory Vigil, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The complaint stated the company violated the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act by introducing or delivering for interstate commerce adulterated products and others misbranded as tobacco, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

The complaint alleges the defendants manufactured and sold electronic finished nicotine delivery systems products and e-liquids. The Food and Drug Administration warned the company its products, including flavored e-liquids were adulterated and misbranded because they didn’t have the required marketing authorization from the FDA, according to the complaint. The e-liquids were called “Dragon Fruit Coconut Milkshake,” “Horchata Milkshake” and “Raspberry Milkshake.”
