From the Office of the DC Attorney General:
“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today announced that the makers of Zyn nicotine pouches will pay $1.2 million to resolve allegations that the company facilitated the sale of tens of thousands of flavored products in DC in violation of the District’s 2022 ban on flavored tobacco and nicotine products. After the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) opened an investigation, Swedish Match North America LLC (SMNA), a subsidiary of Phillip Morris International, quickly halted nationwide sales of its products from its website, shop.zyn.com. Now, as part of the settlement agreement with OAG, SMNA will also be required to monitor its distributors and take affirmative steps to ensure they comply with the District’s ban on flavored tobacco products.

“The Metropolitan Police Department announces multiple arrests made after the peaceful resolution of a barricade situation inside a Navy Yard apartment complex.

“Dear PoPville,
We hope you can call attention to the increasingly compromised infrastructure at Marie Reed Aquatics Center in Adams Morgan where the showers have been barely functional since the spring of this year. Currently there are only four functioning showers of 11: two each in the women’s and men’s changing rooms (of five in each). The shower in the family / independent accessible shower is also not functioning properly (the water is not heated). In the women’s room two showers have hot water, one additional shower has running water but it is cold. Two others do not function at all- last winter one started running continuously, it could not be turned off, and instead of being fixed the water in it and the adjacent shower was turned off completely. In the men’s room, we understand that the water in two showers is functional and the hot water works and in three the water is not functional.
