Four types of hand-rolled cigarettes were ordered off the market by U.S. regulators, the first time tobacco products have been halted for sale under authority from a 2009 law.
The cigarettes, called bidis, are made by Jash International, the Food and Drug Administration said today in a statement. The company failed to meet the requirements of the Tobacco Control Act, which is designed to reduce addiction among young people, the agency said.
