US Appeals Court Orders FDA to Re-examine E-cigarette Regulations
US court approves appeal of 4 e-cigarette companies, requiring the FDA to reconsider their tobacco product applications.

Recently, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit approved the appeals of four electronic cigarette companies, demanding that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reconsider the pre-market tobacco product applications submitted by these four companies. The court stated that the FDA did not conduct a thorough and reasonable evaluation of these four companies, and that the FDA's decision was too arbitrary. The court ruled that before the FDA issues a ban, it must consider all legal regulations and relevant factors. In the future, the FDA must have sufficient legal basis and corresponding evidence before making decisions, rather than relying solely on the results of a vote.
