A little more research on the Johnson and Johnson Janssen Retin A division sale to Valeant Pharmaceuticals....
Apologies it was old news at the time I posted the original article but the FTC have effectively cleared the sale on the proviso that Valeant sell 3 key drugs.
I suggested that FTC intervention was a possible reason for the delay in the big pharma announcement. This announcement from the FDA indicates that there Valeant have found buyers for the drugs though its not cleared if the deals have been settled. If in fact the deals have not been settled it could still provide a reason, albeit a tiny chance, that this has been causing the delay, although IMHO it is looking increasingly less likely.
I just wanted to set the record straight.

TL have you just found the answer for the delay of the announcement with the second largest mass market player.
If your theory is right and J+J having offloaded Janssen Pharmaceuticals (owner of Retin-A Micro for acne, Ertaczo for athlete’s foot and Renova, another acne treatment) as part of its ongoing efforts to restructure itself after a pretty ordinary time of it of late including 25 product recalls, is now to focus on lower risk (aka less prescription based) revenues which subsequently shifts focus to TPM - you may have just found the answer for the delay in the POH's announcement of the mass market player if this article has anything to do with it -

Essentially the Janssen sale is being delayed by the federal trade commission. POH may just be under orders to hold off until the dust has settled before J+J roll with a new non-prescription based product.
