AN E-CIGARETTE MARKET UPDATE
Flavored Products Remain Widely Available Three Months After Court-Ordered Deadline for FDA to Rule on Marketing Applications

A federal court set a deadline of September 9, 2020 for e-cigarette manufacturers to submit applications, called premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs), to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to keep their products on the market. The court order allowed products that were the subject of timely applications to stay on the market for up to one year while the FDA considered the applications, a period that expired on September 9, 2021. Now that this deadline has passed, unauthorized e-cigarette products on the market are subject to possible FDA enforcement action.
