This rule requires packages to show the established name for the product and restricts cigarette and smokeless tobacco labeling and advertising to a "text only" format. If a firm intends to use a form of advertising that is not described in the rule, it has to notify FDA of that intention. Firms also have to submit samples of labels, labeling, and advertising to FDA. It also requires manufacturers, importers, and distributors to provide medical device reports concerning product contamination and serious adverse events that are not well-known or well-documented.
