Vape Brand Vaporesso on Going Through the PMTA Process

Source from:  Vapingpost 12/07/2020

As per the Family Smoking Prevention & Tobacco Control Act, back in 2016 the FDA had announced that all tobacco products would need to apply for and obtain a PreMarket Tobacco Application Authorization (PMTA) in order to stay on the US market.

In these past years, the deadline for this application has been moved back and forth a number of times, until on April 3rd 2020, Judge Paul Grimm of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, moved the deadline to September 9th, 2020.

According to the Tobacco Act, all tobacco products need to be authorized for every aspect including adjustments in packaging, manufacturing processes, and product design. This makes obtaining the authorization very costly and time-consuming leading many smaller vape businesses into bankruptcy or insurmountable debts.

Vaporesso has already obtained the PMTAs for some of its products

Vaporesso submitted several PMTAs, for a product within each sub-category, starting the process back in 2016 as soon as the requirement was announced.In an interview about the process, Vaporesso’s Eve wang said that the company submitted several PMTAs for a product within each sub-category, starting the process back in 2016 as soon as the requirement was announced.

She explained that there are no guidances that differentiate between one product category and another, just one guidance and process for all the different categories. Given Vaporesso’s diverse range of products and all the different variables within these, this was challenging for the brand. To this effect, Vaporesso worked alongside a number of scientists to ensure compliance.
