Juul Labs Inc. persuaded a federal court to grant an emergency order blocking the Food and Drug Administration’s decision to ban its e-cigarette products from the US market.
The US Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington on Friday said the ban should be “administratively stayed” while Juul’s lawyers prepare a full appeal of the FDA’s finding it must stop selling its products. Earlier this week, FDA officials refused to put the ban on hold themselves pending Juul’s appeal, according to court filings.
