Sometimes you'll see products that don't follow the rules. Avoid these:

• No nicotine warning: If it's a nicotine product and lacks the warning, it's not compliant.
• Easy-open packaging: If a child could open it easily, that's a major problem.
• Vague nicotine content: If the label doesn't say how much nicotine, steer clear.
• No manufacturer info: You can't verify where it came from, so don't risk it.

These are signs the product might be counterfeit or not legally sold in California.
