Flava Corp. and Lilac Sison Tayaban – operating under the business name Lilacs Vape Shop– were jointly penalized with an administrative fine of P100,000 after the Department of Trade Industry (DTI) found them to have violated the Vape Law.
The DTI said the manufacture, importation, sale, packaging and distribution of Flava products remain suspended.
The DTI, in its decision on Administrative Case No. FC 2024-305, said Flava Corp. was found guilty of selling vape products with flavor descriptors that unduly appeal to minors. Section 12 of the Vape Law prohibits the sale of vape products that target minors with enticing flavor descriptors.
Last March 15, the DTI, through the Fair Trade Enforcement Bureau, ordered the suspension of the sale, manufacturing, import, and distribution of Flava Corp.’s vape products. This order was intended to preserve the integrity of the products in question and prevent the continuation of the reported violations.
