The city of New York has permanently shut down a Long Island vape company, Price Point, following a lawsuit concerning the sale of flavored e-cigarettes. The consent order prohibits Price Point from selling flavored vapes and imposes fines for future violations. Mayor Eric Adams emphasizes the city's commitment to combat illegal vape products, especially those targeting youths. The lawsuit was sparked by Price Point's alleged violations of federal and state laws, including the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act, after the company ignored a 2020 FDA warning against its sales practices.
The consent order requires Price Point to cease all operations selling flavored disposable vapes and prohibits the company from future sales into NYC.
Mayor Adams described the consent order as another victory in the campaign to protect New Yorkers against illegal vape distributors and to safeguard vulnerable populations.
Price Point's actions violated the federal PACT Act and local public health laws by distributing prohibited vape products beyond NYC.
The city claims that even after a warning from the FDA in 2020, Price Point continued to sell flavored vapes unlawfully.
