They literally and intentionally marketed their products directly at children. Their license is as a product to get people off cigarettes, not hook people on nicotine. They deserve to get yanked.

That's probably the motivation for the FDA putting the screws to them, but their official reasoning is insufficient safety testing. I doubt the other manufactures are forced to prove their plastic toxins don't leach into their vape juice. The FDA should remove a huge amount of food packaging over that, but won't.
