Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
Samples

I have read existing Q&A on samples.
I would like clarity on what PAAB considers a 'simple' sample availability message that would be PAAB exempt.Would this be considered a 'simple' message? New Sample Program, Brand X samples now available at Company X. If interested, contact your company representative.
There would be no additional embellishments such as taglines or claims of merit on the product.

Hello @tk2022
It appears that you are asking for an exempt review over the forum. Please note that this is not the intention of the forum. From a search it appears that you are taking the term “simple sample” from Question 47 or 58. If this is the case, please ask the question under the relevant Q&A in the future to help maintain the usability and clarity of the Forum. Q&A Solicit product samples should provide sufficient information along with the referenced questions within that response, to assess “simple”. When unsure, please be invited to submit for an opinion.
