According to reports, the FDA has raised questions about the use of the brand name, the overall presentation of the advertisement and certain dialogues featured in it. The agency has reportedly argued that the manner in which the advertisement is presented could create an impression that the brand is associated with pan masala. According to the information cited in the notices, an order passed on July 13 this year imposed a one-year ban on the manufacture, storage, transportation, distribution and sale of certain products, including pan masala, within the state. The FDA has reportedly examined the celebrity advertisements in this context and questioned whether their presentation could potentially fall within the scope of the restrictions.
