Two Hays businesses were among the more than 1,300 nationwide to receive warning letters as part of the Federal Drug Administration’s effort to clamp down on e-cigarette sales to minors.

The FDA said the letters were issued following an “undercover blitz of brick-and-mortar stores this summer.”

Walgreens, 2600 Vine, and Southside Convenience, 703 Vine, received warning letters as a part of the effort. Neither were fined.

The FDA’s warning letter advises businesses that, during the inspection, “the establishment was in violation because you or your employee sold an e-liquid product to a minor and failed to check identification to verify purchaser’s age for a purchaser under the age of 27.”
