Federal court pauses FDA ban on Juul products

Juul products aren’t being taken off store shelves quite yet.

A federal court in D.C. granted the e-cigarette company’s request to temporarily pause the Food and Drug Administration’s ban on Juul products issued Thursday, which Juul characterized as “extraordinary and unlawful” in its lawsuit.

The Daily Mail reports that the pause gives the court until at least July 12 to assess the FDA’s claim that the company didn’t include enough information about its health risks in its application.

Juul argued that its 125,000-page application to the agency over two years ago did include several studies that laid out its products’ health risks.
