The Missouri Attorney General, Andrew Bailey, has launched an investigation into illegal vape and marijuana products being sold by distributors in the state. One of the businesses targeted is Vape Society Supplies in Columbia, with CIDs also issued for businesses in Wentzville, Kansas City, and St. Louis. Bailey alleges that these businesses are violating the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act by selling e-cigarettes and vapes deceptively and Delta-8 products in illegal means.
Bailey has requested documents and information from the businesses, setting a deadline of May 10 for compliance. This includes information on business owners, organizational charts, products sold, terms of sale, inventory, and more for all locations where the businesses conduct business. The Food and Drug Administration had previously issued a warning letter to Vape Society Supplies regarding electronic nicotine delivery system and e-liquid products.
In the warning letter, the FDA cited specific products being sold without the appropriate marketing authorization order. ABC 17 News reached out to Vape Society Supplies for comment on the investigation, and updates will be provided as the story develops.
