Kentucky Attorney General, cracks down on illegal Chinese Vapes aimed at minors
According to Just the News’ report, Russell Coleman. The Republican attorney general of Kentucky in the United States said that the state will crack down strictly on vape products from China targeting minors.
Coleman pointed out that, as a father with children and the state attorney general. He was worried about these illegal vape products that entered the state’s stores. He emphasized that law enforcement would be carried out to enforce the relevant bills passed by the state legislature and crack down on these “short-lived” prohibited items.
Last month, Coleman requested to cooperate with the Trump administration to explore ways to protect children from illegal Chinese vapes jointly. He mentioned in a press release that the manufacturers of these vapes often start selling them in the United States without submitting review applications to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Product appearance and flavor design lead to children being the main consumer target
Coleman stated that these products are ubiquitous across the United States, yet the public is largely unaware of their supply chains or chemical compositions. He also pointed out that the marketing of these Chinese vapes is not targeted at adults but at children. Their appearance and design are like “SpongeBob SquarePants”, using flavors that attract children, making the adult consumer group almost uninterested.
Ultimately, Coleman reaffirmed that he would enforce the laws passed by the legislature and strictly limit these products. The state government will take decisive measures to prevent children from being harmed by unknown ingredients.
