Court Allows Sale of Vuse Menthol E-cigarette Pods
Vuse's mint-flavored products will continue to be sold in the US, despite FDA's refusal to approve them.

After the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in the United States issued a temporary stay on Monday, R.J. Reynolds Vapor is allowed to continue selling its Vuse products in two mint flavors that had been subject to a marketing denial order (MDO).


Last Friday, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rejected R.J. Reynolds' PMTA for its Vuse alternative pod mint 4.8% (nicotine content) G1 and Vuse alternative pod mint 4.8% G2 tobacco products.


As a result, Renault will be prohibited from selling or distributing these products in the United States, or else it will face enforcement action from the US Food and Drug Administration. However, the appellate court's ruling allows these products to continue being sold in the market.


A similar incident occurred. In October of last year, the US Food and Drug Administration issued a marketing denial order (MDO) against several mint-flavored soda products sold by Logic Technology Development. This was the first time the FDA had issued an MDO against mint products after undergoing scientific review.


After several days, Logic Corporation obtained a court order from the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals to temporarily suspend the order.
