FDA stops recommending ban on menthol cigarettes 39

Product Liability is another area of San Diego Personal Injury Law

A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel has stopped short of recommending a ban on menthol cigarettes despite evidence that the cigarettes are a factor in the rise of smoking among youth. The panel instead recommended further study of the issue, and many experts believe the FDA will eventually take more modest action against the products. Even anti-smoking groups aren’t clamoring for a ban. The president of the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kid said “the FDA should impose changes in marketing or formulation to curb youth smoking.”   San Diego Personal Injury Attorney Andrew Zajac, Chicago Tribune 03/20/2011
