WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., May 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Reynolds American Inc. (Reynolds) announced today that its subsidiary, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (RJRT), has filed a lawsuit against California state officials, including Attorney General Robert Bonta, in response to the Attorney General's issuance of several Notices of Determination ("Notices") that allege certain Camel and Newport cigarettes styles are "presumptively" flavored based on their promotional materials. The lawsuit, filed in California state court, seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, including that the Notices be rescinded.

Key Points: 
  • The lawsuit, filed in California state court, seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, including that the Notices be rescinded.
  • RJRT stands by its new products and believes that they comply with California state law and therefore can continue to be sold.
  • The California Attorney General's Notices do not acknowledge the fact that RJRT's new product introductions are prominently labeled and marketed as non-menthol.
  • Prioritizing enforcement of these illicit vapor products, rather than focusing on compliant products, would better serve Californians.
