LEGAL proceedings are being launched against NSW-based business, Vapor Kings Pty Ltd, and its sole director, Amir Kandakji, over alleged unlawful advertising of nicotine vaping products.
In a statement announcing the Federal Court proceedings, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) reported that the company and its director were responsible for ads on their websites and social media pages promoting the products, in breach of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989.
"Despite being warned about alleged non-compliant advertising, the company and Kandakji continued to advertise and sell the products for some months," the TGA said.
The regulator alleged that the business removed some ads for the products from its Australian website between Feb and Jun, but redirected consumers to advertisements for nicotine vaping equipment on its UK platform, when users clicked on 'e-liquid'.
