On
November 7, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas
issued an order in the case of R.J.
Reynolds Tobacco Co. et al. v. United States Food and Drug Administration et
al., No. 6:20-cv-00176, to further postpone the effective date of
the “Required
Warnings for Cigarette Packages and Advertisements” final rule. Additionally,
the court stated in its order that it expects to make a decision on the case
within the next 31 days.
Based upon the latest postponement of the rule's effective date by an
additional 31 days, the
new effective date of the final rule is November 6, 2023. Pursuant
to the court order, any obligation to comply with a deadline tied to the
effective date is similarly postponed. However, FDA strongly encourages
entities to submit cigarette plans as soon as possible, and no later
than January 9, 2023.
Additional details on the rule, as well as the new effective date and
recommended date for submission of cigarette plans, can be found on FDA’s
website.
