The warning plans will be reviewed by FDA to determine whether the companies' plans for the equal distribution and display of warning statements on packaging and the quarterly rotation of warning statements in advertising for each brand requires, among other things, that all smokeless tobacco product packages and advertisements bear one of four required warning statements.
