US cracks down on illegal vapes: FDA, CBP block shipments worth $86.5 million
In a major crackdown, US authorities seized 4.7 million illegal e-cigarettes, valued at $86.5 million, in Chicago. The joint operation by the FDA and CBP targeted shipments primarily from China, often disguised with misleading labels to evade inspections and import duties. This action aims to protect American children from unauthorized and potentially dangerous vaping products that bypass safety checks.
