Juul can continue selling e-cigarettes despite the FDA ordering a ban. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the district of Columbia issued a temporary stay. Juul can file an emergency motion, which it can then consider along with a response from the FDA.
Juul had petitioned for clearance to sell its tobacco and menthol-flavored vape products, but the FDA turned down the application. The regulator notes that it’s only illegal to sell the Juul device and Juul pods, not to own or use them.
Juul has until noon on the 27th to file an emergency motion. The court says it’s not allowing Juul to sell vaping products based on the merits of the request.
