The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has granted a request from Juul Labs Inc. to temporarily block a government ban on its e-cigarette production, NPR reports. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last week said Juul must stop selling its vaping device and its tobacco and menthol flavored cartridges, an action the company called “extraordinary and unlawful.” Juul said that the FDA cannot argue that there was a "critical and urgent public interest" in immediately removing its products from the market when the agency allowed them to be sold during its review. A three-judge panel from the appeals court granted Juul's request for a hold while the court reviews the case.
