Philip Morris International to Pay $1.2 Million to Settle Flavor Ban Violation Claims

MT Newswires Live12-16

Philip Morris International (PM) will pay $1.2 million to settle claims that its subsidiary, Swedish Match North America, sold flavored nicotine products in Washington, D.C., violating the city's 2022 flavor ban, the D.C. Attorney General's Office said Monday.

The Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia said the company halted sales of its products online after the Office of the Attorney General began the investigation.

It added that as part of the settlement, Swedish Match North America must also monitor its distributors quarterly and take steps to ensure they comply with the flavor ban.

Philip Morris International and Swedish Match North America did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
