Decatur, Ill (WAND) – Senator Dick Durbin, (D) Illinois, is demanding the Food & Drug Administration act immediately in removing e-cigarettes and vaping products from store shelves saying the agency has ignored a court order requiring them to take action by September 2021.
“While the FDA has dithered, dallied and delayed, more than one million of America's kids have started vaping,” Durbin stated this week calling on the agency to obey the court order. “Not next year. Not next month. Immediately. Today.”
In a filing this week the FDA stated it will be December 31, 2023 before it completes a premarket review process for some of the most popular vapes used by children. Senator Durbin wants the FDA to use its powers to remove all unauthorized e-cigarettes from store shelves, as required by law.
