FDA and CBP cooperate in the operation to prevent illicit products entering U.S. marketplace.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the seizure of three million units of illegal e-cigarette products. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) partnered with the health agency on the operation.
“The FDA is on high alert and, in coordination with our federal partners, remains committed to stopping unauthorized e-cigarettes at our nation’s borders,” said FDA Commissioner Robert Califf. “These products too often end up in kids’ hands, and the newly formed federal task force is well positioned to collectively combat this unscrupulous activity.”
“CBP’s trade enforcement mission places a significant emphasis on intercepting illicit products that could harm American consumers,” said Acting CBP Commissioner Troy Miller. “We will continue to work with our enforcement partners to identify and seize unsafe and unlawful goods.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Commissioner Califf to seek God’s guidance as he heads the Food and Drug Administration.
- For Acting Commissioner Miller to be led by the Lord as he oversees U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
