We are happy to announce that Bidi Vapor has been granted a stay order by the FDA.
Which means all 11 flavors of the BIDI®️ Stick are now legal to market and distribute as the FDA is currently reviewing the previously released MDO.
GRANT, Fla., Feb. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: KAVL) (“Kaival Brands,” the “Company,” or “we”), is the exclusive global distributor of products manufactured by Bidi Vapor LLC (“Bidi Vapor”), including the BIDI® Stick disposable electronic nicotine delivery system (“ENDS”), which is intended exclusively for adults 21 and over.
Recapping the 2021 year, Niraj Patel, Chief Executive Officer of Kaival Brands said, “Fiscal year 2021 was a very challenging year, especially because of FDA’s marketing denial order, or MDO, for Bidi Vapor’s non-tobacco flavored BIDI® Stick ENDS, which caused irreparable harm to both Bidi Vapor and Kaival Brands. However, we were pleased that the court ultimately agreed to stay the MDO, and that we were able to make key strategic decisions to stay in business and continue maturation of the Company in 2021, including uplisting to Nasdaq and completing our first underwritten public offering.”
Corporate Updates & Milestones During and Subsequent to the Fiscal Fourth Quarter:
“The judicial stay of Bidi Vapor’s MDO was based, in part, on the likelihood of the merits case succeeding and we very much look forward to the day when the court rules on the merits of Bidi Vapor’s MDO challenge. In the meantime, we are actively exploring and negotiating potential international distribution opportunities for the BIDI® Stick and look forward to aggressively expanding into international markets in 2022” Mr. Patel said.
Mr. Patel, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, owns and controls Bidi Vapor. As a result, Bidi Vapor and the Company are considered under common control and Bidi Vapor is considered a related party.
