US Appeal Court upholds FDA's authority over e-cigarettes
A US appeals court upheld the FDA's authority over e-cigarette products in a case brought by Prohibition Juice.

According to a report by ECigIntelligence, a United States appeals court has upheld the Food and Drug Administration's authority over electronic cigarette products in a case that challenged a marketing denial order.


Prohibition Juice, headquartered in New York, has raised objections to the MDO, claiming that the organization lacks legal authority to consider the relative effectiveness of a product in promoting the cessation of use of combustible cigarettes compared to another product with similar health risk features and labeling.


The US Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has ruled that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the power to determine if a product is suitable for protecting public health under the Tobacco Control Act. This means that applicants must provide all information related to the investigation, as well as assess the health risks of the product and evaluate if it carries less risk than other products.
