  5. FDA’s tobacco center just drafted new rules to let ecigs, pouches onto market, but staffers didn’t write them

    Senior officials at the FDA's tobacco center were reportedly blindsided by new guidelines that permit certain electronic cigarettes and nicotine pouches to enter the U.S. market without full regulatory review. These guidelines, published shortly before former FDA Commissioner Marty Makary's resignation, bypass the standard public comment period and scientific verification process. The move has caused internal confusion and raised questions about the policy's origin and authorization, with some experts suggesting it may have overridden the concerns of subject matter experts.

  15. ‘This is what the consumer wants’: A new lawsuit about PFAS and other ‘forever chemicals’ is heating up the cookware industry

    Two major cookware manufacturers, Groupe SEB and Meyer Corporation, have filed a lawsuit against startup Caraway Home for allegedly false advertising. The plaintiffs accuse Caraway of falsely marketing its ceramic cookware as superior by claiming that traditional PTFE-coated non-stick pans are toxic and cause cancer. They argue that PTFE is safe for cooking and approved by regulatory bodies, citing a National Advertising Division ruling that supported their claims. Caraway's CEO, Jordan Nathan, dismissed the lawsuit as a tactic to stifle competition and stated that consumers are increasingly seeking healthier, PFAS-free products. AI
