The FDA has begun to crack down on illegally marketed tobacco products, issuing warning letters to four companies for allegedly selling e-liquids and hookah tobacco without legal authorization

The products, according to the FDA, lack the necessary marketing authorization to be sold in the United States. No e-cigarette currently has that approval, but many are allowed to stay on the market temporarily because they were introduced before the FDA assumed authority over vapes in August 2016.Under the agency's rules, companies now have to apply to the FDA before selling new products.

A federal judge ruled in May that the FDA acted illegally by allowing e-cigarettes to remain on the market until 2022 before companies applied for FDA authorization. In July, the judge moved up that deadline, giving companies just 10 months to apply."The FDA stands ready to accelerate the review of e-cigarettes and other new tobacco products," Sharpless said at the time.CNN's Michael Nedelman contributed to this report.
