June 10, 2025 – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has intensified enforcement against unauthorized disposable e-cigarettes, particularly targeting popular flavored products from brands like Elf Bar and Esco Bars. Recent inspections resulted in the refusal of entry for over 1.2 million illegal devices at U.S. ports in May. This action is part of the FDA’s ongoing effort to curb youth vaping, citing concerns about flavored disposables’ appeal to minors. Industry groups warn the move could fuel the black market, while public health advocates applaud stricter controls. The crackdown highlights the continued regulatory pressure on the vaping sector.
