Juul Will Suspend Online Sales Of Flavoured Products In The US

Following all the scrutiny received by the FDA, last year Juul stopped selling its flavoured pods in retail stores across the US. Subsequently last week, the manufacturer announced it will now also stop selling the flavoured products from its age-restricted website.

In 2018, Juul Labs Inc. had announced its plans to stop selling most of its flavoured nicotine liquids at bricks-and-mortar stores. The e-cig manufacturer had said that it would keep on selling menthol and tobacco-flavored products in stores, and that all the other flavours would remain available for sale on its website, which has age-verification controls.

At the time, former CEO Kevin Burns pointed out that the company had “stopped accepting retai​l orders for our Mango, Fruit, Creme and Cucumber JUUL pods to the over 90,000 retail stores that sell our product.”

However, likely in response to last month’s announcement by the Trump administration that all flavoured vaping products may be banned, Juul has just announced that it will now also stop selling its flavoured pods on its website, effective immediately. Meanwhile its mint and menthol nicotine pods will remain available for sale.

“We continue to review our policies and practices in advance of FDA’s flavor guidance and have not made any final decisions,” Juul spokesman Austin Finan said in a statement. “We are refraining from lobbying the administration on its draft flavor guidance and will fully support and comply with the final policy when effective.”  Enditem
