US top court backs regulator’s denial of flavoured vape products
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday largely backed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s refusal to let two e-cigarette companies sell flavoured vape products that regulators consider a health risk to youths.
The justices threw out a lower court’s decision that the FDA had failed to follow proper legal procedures under a federal law called the Administrative Procedure Act when it rejected the applications by the companies, Triton Distribution and Vapetasia, to sell these nicotine-containing products.
