On Nov. 7, 2023, the FDA issued a warning letter to Nic Nac Naturals, LLC for the marketing of their unauthorized dissolvable nicotine products, which the company describes as “nicotine mints” and resemble a pack of mints. These products are of particular concern because they resemble popular candies and have the potential to cause severe nicotine toxicity or even death if accidentally ingested by young children.
“FDA remains steadfast in our commitment to actively monitor the marketplace and to crack down on companies selling unlawful products, particularly those that can appeal to youth,” said Brian King, Ph.D., M.P.H., director of FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products. “Our goal is to identify and prevent these emerging threats to our nation’s youth before they become mainstream.”
