A federal appeals court has agreed to halt the FDA's ban on Juul products thanks to a lawsuit filed by the e-cigarette manufacturer.
Juul asked a federal court Friday to block a government order to stop selling its electronic cigarettes, and was told the application had succeeded.
The temporary freeze on the FDA order lasts at least until July 12, according to the court's scheduling order.
The pause gives Juul time to argue for why the order should be placed on hold for a longer amount of time pending the court's review of it. The D.C. Circuit can extend the pause on the agency's order, or it can let the order take effect while Juul's appeal is pending.
The e-cigarette maker had earlier asked the court to pause what it calls an 'extraordinary and unlawful action' by the Food and Drug Administration that would require it to immediately halt its business.
The company filed an emergency motion with the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington as it prepares to appeal the FDA´s decision.
