U.S. tobacco companies drop lawsuit vs FDA over labeling
By Jessica Dye and Jonathan Stempel NEW YORK (Reuters) – The three largest U.S. tobacco companies on Tuesday dropped their lawsuit accusing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of exceeding its authority by closely monitoring the content of their product labels after the agency said it would reconsider its rules. Altria Group Inc, Reynolds American Inc and Lorillard Inc dismissed their case after the FDA on May 29 said it would review whether to mandate advance approval for label alterations such as changes to logos and background colors, or the use of descriptors such as "premium tobacco." In their April lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., the companies said the 2009 Tobacco Control Act limited FDA authority to pre-approve label changes to two "narrow" circumstances: products claiming to lower tobacco-related risks, or when prior approval is required by regulation.
