underage sales
Selling to minors
Underage sales refers to selling age-restricted products—typically alcohol, tobacco, or cannabis—to customers below the legal purchasing age.
The phrase appears most often in regulatory and retail contexts: The store was fined for underage sales, underage sales compliance checks.
Despite its form, the term describes sales *to* minors, not sales *by* them.
