Connecticut’s attorney general is asking Shopify to crack down on illegal tobacco products.
About 40 e-cigarette products are legally allowed to be sold in the U.S.
Attorney General Tong says Shopify sells bootleg nicotine products imported from China.
“These bootleg vapes are illegally imported, untested and unsafe, and legitimate businesses should not have any part in facilitating their sale,” said Attorney General Tong. “We’re going to keep doing everything we can to shut off the supply and distribution of these illegal products.”
Twenty-four other state attorneys general are also asking Shopify to better regulate its site.
