Additionally, FDA is interested in information related to communication to consumers and the general public related to ENDS battery safety concerns.

The 2-day public workshop will include presentations and panel discussions about ENDS battery safety concerns as well as how potential safety hazards and risks are communicated to consumers and the general public.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry (GIF) #242 entitled ``In-Use Stability Studies and Associated Labeling Statements for Multiple-Dose Injectable Animal Drug Products.''

This draft guidance reflects the Agency's current thinking on how to formulate in-use statements, as well as how to design and carry out in-use stability studies to support these in-use statements, for multiple-dose injectable drug products intended for use in animals. This current thinking pertains to both generic drug products and pioneer drug products regardless of whether or not the pioneer reference listed new animal drug (RLNAD) currently has an in-use statement on the labeling.
