According to the report, the FTC said it sent orders to JUUL Labs, Inc; R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company; Fontem US, LLC; Logic Technology Development LLC; and NJOY, LLC, seeking information from 2019 and 2020 including annual data on sales and giveaways of e-cigarettes and characteristics of their e-cigarette products such as flavours.
The FTC has already requested information from earlier years in 2019 as part of its ongoing study of the US e-cigarette market. The consumer protection agency is trying to better understand the fast-growing market, similar to studies on cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products, the report said.
