Ok let's see.
Cannot help but think that this has been a setup to divulge the fact that PG have not been interested in an almost abysmal trial results that the disaster bodyguard is. This is of course my opinion.
23/02 - Bodyguard announcement states that Bodyguard is a success but there are issues like skin irritation. They say they have fixed this by "hydrogen gel technology" fancy that !
PG has been sued in the past around
skin irritation. Another component in one of the other OBJ product moisture strip
Proplyn Glycol also sitting on cusp of skin irritant when not used in appropriate amount.
They say that PG have 30 days then they say PG have 60 days to evaluate.
16/04 - 19/04 Suddenly the forum is abuzz with the fact that
PDA is due for renewal. This date is endearing close to the 60 day deadline that PG had to review. This activity is most specifically linked to some colourful posts.
Meanwhile the greybeards like
@Southoz and
@Surges say that this 60 days thing is going to extend further.
One with a standing in reality wonders if PG are not interested at this point in bodyguard ? At the same time this whole PDA renewal seems out of the blue and at a specific direction of a select few which almost seems like a diversion to sneak in the fact that PG may not have been interested. Cough Cough GSK anyone ?
27/04 More work plans are signed but the bad news that PG has sort of gone for "non exclusivity" sheds much more light on the whole thing at once.
Was the whole PDA renewal and new work plan update to cover the fact that PG may simply not have been interested ? Could it be that the Bodyguard was not so successful as predicted and analysed by some of the realistic older regulars ? This is left to the wise readers.
