A March 2026 GAO report (GAO-26-107991) maps out the full range of tools available to the Department of Justice—and which ones actually get used.</p> <p><strong>The Legal Basis</strong></p> <p>Two statutes form the primary framework. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act prohibits the distribution of e-cigarette products that are adulterated or misbranded in interstate commerce. Under FDA&rsquo;s 2016 rule extending its tobacco authority to e-cigarettes, any product sold without FDA premarket authorization is automatically considered adulterated and misbranded—meaning the unauthorized status of a product is itself the legal violation, not any separate showing of harm or deception.</p>
