Cordova Tobacco & Vape was cited for selling electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) products without proper FDA premarket authorization as required under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. The company failed to comply with requirements that "new tobacco products"—defined as products not commercially marketed in the United States before February 15, 2007—must obtain a marketing authorization order before legal distribution. The FDA's jurisdiction over these products was reinforced by 2022 legislation extending regulatory authority to all products containing nicotine from any source, not just tobacco-derived nicotine.
