Last Friday the FDA delivered the first PMTA review status report mandated by U.S. District Court Judge Paul Grimm.
The report was originally due April 29, but the FDA asked for and received a two-week extension.
The agency estimates it will not complete review of Premarket Tobacco Applications (PMTAs) for the most popular vaping products for more than a year from now—or nearly three years after the Sept. 9, 2020 PMTA submission deadline. If the progress report were a report card, by anyone’s standards the FDA would earn an F.
Judge Grimm ordered the FDA to report its progress reviewing PMTAs submitted for the most popular brands of vaping products sold in the convenience store/gas station vape market segment. The reports, in the form of court filings, will be delivered to the court every 90 days, with the next report due by July 29.
